Impington Village College - Adult wing from E 2014-09-13

Impington Village College - Adult wing from E 2014-09-13
Designed by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry in 1938 and opened in 1939. This wing contained facilities for adult education and leisure; the section on the extreme right contained a library for the use of both students and adults. The hall block can be seen in the background on the left.

Comparison with an early view reveals some alterations, most notably the infilling of the covered way which originally connected the rooms in this wing: www.harvardartmuseums.org/art/52323 .

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