Title A name given to the resource 1945 - 1960: Post-War & Conceptual Master Plans Description An account of the resource During the Second World War, there was no new building built on the Parkville campus. The Vice-Chancellor, John Medley, urged the University to think ahead and plan for the next fifty years. John Medley had grand visions for the extension of campus, restructuring university education and the division of campus. However, due to a lack of resources, funding and material, many of these bold ideas were not realised. Various master plans were proposed in this period, but none were officially adopted with complete conviction. Brian Lewis's Master Plan of 1948 was one of those plans, it was accepted but was not followed in detail. During this time the talk of introducing Modernist buildings into the campus had started but was not realised completely until the most unforeseen incident in the history of the campus, the destruction by fire of Reed & Barnes' Wilson Hall in 1952. The New Wilson Hall was both an exemplar of Modernism in the University and a representation of national academic independence.

Title A name given to the resource Brian Lewis Master Plan 1948 Description An account of the resource Professor of Architecture, Brian Lewis proposed a master plan in 1948. He proposed that all tall buildings should act as the perimeter of the campus site to keep the traditional centre of the University open. Another radical move in his plan was that no faculty would have their own building, instead each department would be allocated a floor space in one of these tall, almost continuous slab blocks. Today, the <a href="https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/constructing-change/items/show/13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Redmond Barry building</a> is the only remaining remnant of this strategy.
