Impington Village College - Looking N from the classroom wing covered way 2014-09-13

Impington Village College - Looking N from the classroom wing covered way 2014-09-13
Designed by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry in 1938 and opened in 1939. The recessed doors in the centre of the photo give access to the concourse, with the warden's office to the left and staff room on the right; the clerestory of the concourse lies beyond. The classroom wing is on the right. The curved stair tower on the left was not part of the original plan.

Similar view in 1939: www.harvardartmuseums.org/art/52276 .

Photographed on an open day to mark the 75th anniversary of the opening of the College.
