The Darcy Building. Home to the Department of Real Estate and Construction for XX years (about 15 my sources tell me). We all had mixed feelings about leaving and so decided to document our favourite (and not so favourite) parts of the building. As the Department settles into its new home in the refurbished part of the Abercrombie Building (first floor) I thought it was time to share our memories of Darcy. We start outside the building and move from the ground floor (home to the Department of Planning) up the stairs to the first floor. Photos by Rachel Dixon, memories by everyone.
The metal 'rope' on the stairs that you can play a tune on (thanks for that one Mark Austin). I'm not so sure. This was my best effort.

The Office of Nick French. How does he get so much stuff in there? Memory by Andressa Minogue. Fans of Nick's Office will be pleased to know that it is currently being recreated in AB105.
