Title A name given to the resource 1920 - 1945: Beginning of the Public Works Description An account of the resource The period from 1920 to 1945 witnessed three major shifts in the development of the campus. Firstly, the Public Works Department (PWD) became the equivalent of the University Architect, responsible for all major government-funded projects. Secondly, there were attempts made to 'rectangularise' the arrangements of the buildings, roads and paths. The original site of the new Chemistry building was moved northwards to align with Geology, which meant that the new site was partially situated over the exisiting lake, and a part of the lake filled. As a result, the lake, which had been the location of much student activity and a focal point of the campus, had, by the 1930s, lost most of its picturesque appeal. The third major shift was the move towards Modernism. The New Chemistry building represented an increased commitment to Modernism in architecture, and the first evident design of the modernist style was the proposal by Philip Hudson for the Union House extension, which was influenced by the style and character of the old National Museum that it extended — especially the straw-coloured bricks used by Joseph Reed in 1863.

Title A name given to the resource Union Lawn/ Concrete Lawn Description An account of the resource The picturesque <a href="https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/constructing-change/exhibits/show/criticalmoments/item/18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lake</a> was incrementally filled and eventually converted into the Union Lawn. The filling of the lake began during the construction of the <a href="https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/constructing-change/items/show/27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Chemistry Building</a> in 1930s.<br /><br />The New Chemistry Building was supposed to be built in a more southerly location but it was moved during the phase of the rectangularisation of campus. As a result, the edge of the New Chemistry Building was aligned with the Old Geology Building from the south edge, which meant the new site sat on the existing lake. That portion of the lake was later filled in. Later, a portion of the eastern edge was filled during the construction of the <a href="https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/constructing-change/items/show/17" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Old Commerce building</a> and hence the lake became smaller and smaller and eventually filled in and converted into a lawn, named after the <a href="https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/constructing-change/items/show/15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Union House</a> that sat in the western edge of the lawn.
