The foundation was laid in 1909. In 1911 a superstructure was built to fulfil the needs for a place to hold physical education classes. In 1917, a maple floor was laid. In 1924 the building was veneered with stone on three sides. In 1931 work was started on the final completion of the building, but funds gave out and only the shower rooms could be put in. There remains only the plunge to be in- stalled before the building is completed. The Phvoifal Education department is the only department allowed tw use the building. The one exception to this rule is in the production of the Music Schools Light Upera each vear when a stage, equal in size to a full theatre stage, is built in the west end.
