DEsigned by Peter Elliott Architecture + Urban Design, Trinity College is one of the foundation residential colleges at the University of Melbourne. It has an eclectic collection of nineteenth and twentieth century buildings set within a beautiful landscape. The Theological School occupies the former Wardens Lodge in the south west corner of the campus facing Royal Parade. The project involved the refurbishment of the existing building plus a new pavilion extension. The original residence was designed by McGlashan Everist Architects in 1960. It has adapted well to the new educational use with little change to the layout of rooms. Bedrooms became offices and living spaces became teaching rooms. The residence has a formal rectangular plan with a large internal courtyard onto which all rooms face. It is a fine example of the architecture of the period with a simple modern aesthetic. It is a very modest and private building, which is largely hidden from view by an established layered landscape of hedges and large trees.
