THE COLOURS OF AUSTRALIA SINCE 1966. COLORBOND steel is a familiar sight around our homes and yards,
but there are many larger buildings that incorporate COLORBOND steel into their designs too, such as Ivanhoe
Grammar School’s Science and Senior Years Centre. Inspired by a volcanic rock called a ‘thunder egg’, the design
uses COLORBOND steel in the colour Monument for its outer skin to ensure that the building fits well in its
surroundings and to contrast with the wonderland of colours inside. McBride Charles Ryan architect, Debbie Ryan, said
‘COLORBOND steel helped us out enormously – the cost was reasonable, the material is effi cient and it looks beautiful’.
