St Clair College

Since we’re still close to back to school time, and a few weeks ago we hit Dillon Hall at the University, here’s a postcard of main campus of St Clair College from the mid 1970’s. While it may not be everyone’s favourite building, I think it’s got some interesting design to it, plus the architects Johnson-McWhinnie, were among the forerunners of using concrete in architecture as a exposed architectural elements here locally. It may be ugly to some, but I like it.
