16mm colour footage showing the construction of the Swinburne Applied Science Block from 1962 to 1963. The Applied Science Block provided classrooms and laboratories for Applied Mechanics, Chemical Engineering, Geology, Glassworking, Road Materials Testing, Soils Mechanics, Metallurgy, Physics and Structural Engineering. The building faced Burwood Rood between the Ethel Swinburne Centre and the Chemistry School.
The building was eventually demolished in 2008 to make way for the new Advanced Technologies Centre (ATC).
