This file has the initial drawings James Birrell designed while University Architect and those by Scorer and Scorer when given the initial commission in 1966. Birrell designed several pilot plans that were very different to the final built proposal. The sketch plans Birrell presented to the Buildings and Ground committee were approved for submission to Australian Universities Commission (A.U.C.), who approved the plans on 24 January 1967.

In this file there are preliminary plans for the proposed Agriculture and Entomology Building, designed by Birrell while University Architect. Drawings:
[Item 1] 1 set of 7 colour architectural drawings with 'Preliminary' written in red ink on bottom right hand corner of each plan, ink line drawings (with colour) on paper, consisting of 2 pages of elevations and 1 plan for each floor (lower ground floor, ground floor and floors 1 to 3), originally stapled together as one volume, possibly a presentation volume, 70 x 99cm (Previously treated as 7 separtate items numbered A16.01-07).
[Items 2-3] Copies of the two elevations preliminary drawings, ink line drawings on tracing paper, no title block, sticky taped together across middle (previously numbered A16.08-09).
[Items 4-7] Copies of the floor plans from the Prelimary set of drawings (lower ground floor is missing), ink line drawings on tracing paper, title block for the University of Queensland and University Architect J. P. Birrell (previously numbered as A16.10-13).

Scorer and Scorer were initially given the commission by the Co-ordinator General of Public Works for the Agriculture and Entomology Building. With the death of Fred Scorer in 1966, James Birrell purchased his firm and with it came the commission for the Agriculture and Entomology Building. These five drawings by Scorer and Score are: [Items 8-12] ink line drawings on tracing paper, with pencil annotations, and include a Master Plan, Site usage, and Massing 1-3.

The Geology Annex was submitted with the proposals for the Chemistry Annex and the Western Arts Building to the Australian Universities Commission (A.U.C.) in 1965, and rejected. It was to be situated behind the exiting Geology building, along Circular Drive (now named Staff House Road) between the Physics Annex and the bookshop. It was designed with basement, ground and first to fifth floors. It was resubmitted to the A.U.C. in 1966 and rejected again. This file comprises 16 plans for the proposed geology annex, including pilot plans, elevation, perspective views, floor plans for each level, as well a master planning conception drawing, massing considerations drawing and sketches of Geology annex view from Lake, the North East and from within the court (or intimate space as referred to on one of the concept drawings). One pilot plan dated March 1965.
