The Gordon's Wool School and Textile Collage

Building T1 and Building T2 are distinct buildings and classic examples of the work of architect Percy Everett and a reminder of Geelong's ties to its wool manufacturing past.

BUILDING T1, TEXTILE COLLEGE (1944–51) has architectural significance as a fine example of the work of the distinguished architect Percy Everett, the chief architect of the Public Works department, which successfully combines a grand modernistic design with the adjacent classicising facades. The structure's historical significance resides in its association with the wool and textile industries and the importance of the Gordon College as the pre-eminent training institution for those industries in Victoria.

BUILDING T2, WOOL SCHOOL (1936–37) has architectural interest as an example of the work of Percy Everett, the chief architect of the Public Works department. Its historical interest lies in its association with the wool and textile industries and the importance of the Gordon College as the pre-eminent training institution of those industries in Victoria.
