The structure has two storeys made of coursed stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with stone stacks at the gable ends. Each of the two gables contains one window with three lights above two windows with two lights. The center has a two-light window beneath a balustraded parapet. A round-arched doorway is flanked by Doric half-columns topped with obelisk finials. There is a panel displaying the school crest and panelled round-arched double doors. Yarrow House and the Science Building are part of a group.
