Collingwood

Collingwood is a boys' hostel built around 1925 to 1933 by Buckland and Heywood. The building is made of red brick with stone and darker brick dressings. It features a hipped plain tile roof behind a brick parapet and is designed in an H-plan with identical east and west fronts. The structure has two storeys and consists of nine bays.

The exterior includes rusticated brick quoins and a flush brick plinth outlined in darker brick. The parapet has stone coping and rectangular brick panels outlined in darker brick, along with a stone cornice band. The central bay is canted at the first floor and parapet. On either side, there are four horned sash windows with three panes by four panes on the ground floor, and similar upper hung casements on the first floor.

The central stone doorcase features a moulded stone surround with angle pilasters that have stylized capitals and moulded bases, topped with stone finials on the cornice. An entablature displays the house name, and there is a pair of doors with three raised and fielded panels each, below an overlight with glazing bars arranged in a diamond pattern. The first-floor window above the door has a moulded stone surround and also consists of three panes by four panes.

Darker brickwork is used in the flat arches of the windows and in the surrounds, extending above and below to create apron-like panels beneath the first-floor windows and a shallower feature of three courses below the ground-floor windows. The south face has a central pedimented bay with a first-floor window in a stone surround. Additionally, there is a single-storey housemaster's accommodation added to the front of the facade. The northern arcaded service court features an arch at the top of the H-plan, using various sizes of brickwork in the detailing of the capitals. Collingwood is one of ten identical houses for pupils.
