Warwickshire Masonic Temple, in Egbaston - Great Britain

Abstract

The new building, which replaces the old one used for the same purpose, is made up of: — The main temple and its dining room. — Seven assembly rooms, with their corresponding dining rooms. — Hall, made up of: dance room; dining room, and ancillary facilities. — Provincial management offices. — Suite for outstanding personalities. — Kitchens, toilets and cloakrooms. — Car park on the site. The building is made of resistant walls of two-face finished brick, made specially for this building, combined on the outside with precast finished concrete components. Its predominating feature is the almost complete lack of windows in the two floors which make it up. Horizontal communications are around an inner hall, and vertical ones through isolated staircases. The whole temple is air-conditioned and artificially lit, the latter being part of the air-conditioning extraction system.
