Description

This building is a block of two gymnasia located to the south of the main block at Woodlands School, constructed between 1952 and 1957. It was designed by the City Architects Department in collaboration with the Ministry of Education Development Group. The structure uses the Hills 3'4" system, featuring a steel frame with precast concrete panels. It has a flat roof with a prominent roof slab and is a rectangular block that ranges from one to two storeys high. The design includes extensive glazing arranged in horizontal bands, with painted metal framed windows and plate glass.

The gymnasia are an integral part of the Woodlands School complex, which includes the Main Block, Workshop and science block, Arts and Crafts block, Gymnasium block, three additional teaching blocks, five house blocks, and a cycle store to the east. Woodlands School was notable as an experimental design project and is recognized as one of the early purpose-built comprehensive schools.
