| Dundee Technical Institute | DUNDEE. - The technical institute committee have finally approved of the plans for the erection, at a cost of £45,000, of a new technical institute for Dundee. The style adopted is a Classic Renaissance, the facade being divided into three bays. Under the centre bay is the main entrance and vestibule, leading to the inner hall, from which runs the main stair. To the right and left of the main entrance are the library and examination hall, directors' room, and offices. On the first floor are the board-room and four lecture-rooms, and the second floor is occupied by the art department. The art department contains an art hall, with two painting annexes, lecture-room, and classrooms for architecture, design, and life classes. The architect is Mr James H Langlands, of Dundee, whose design was selected in a competition limited to local professional men. [Building News 7 June 1907 p786]
