Temporary Classrooms

Incorporating such architectural gems as rooms 57, 58, 64, 65 and T1-6, temporary classrooms provide an important contribution to teaching space at BRGS. The label 'temporary' indicates a building with a potentially infinite shelf life that requires no maintenance during its lifespan. Indeed, the history department has actively encouraged the installation of as many temporary classrooms as possible, since in the future they will represent almost completely intact time capsules for use in the study of the past.

The Great History Department Uprising of 1987

Caused by the removal (and disposal) of an original shagpile carpet from room 58 by the caretakers, without allowing the various artefacts stuck to it to be fully catalogued.

Flat roofs

Temporary classrooms most often have a cunning 'flat' roof design, so any footballs are forever lost if accidentally kicked there. This is yet another reason why the history department place such emphasis on the installation of temporary classrooms. An original Roman trigon ball was found on room 57's roof in 1998, although it was later claimed by the P.E. department as school property.
