As part of Preshil’s eightieth birthday celebrations, seven school buildings designed by Kevin Borland will be open to the public on June 5.

Preshil is an alternative education school in Kew, Melbourne, where Borland designed a group of buildings that earned him the 1972 RAIA bronze medal.

A historical photo display and panel discussion will be held in the Borland Hall exploring the fascinating process of designing and building these significant structures and their renewed relevance today. Speakers include prominent architects and Borland colleagues Peter McIntyre and John Kenny, together with education and design specialists Mary Featherston and Ben Cleveland.
