The K.D Stewart Centre

The K.D Stewart Centre at Deakin Waurn Ponds has a large gym that has a roof supported by steel beams with a brick supporting facard.
I'm not sure whether the Supporting steel it a portal fram as it has a knee joint to transfer the bending moment down, however it also looks like a truss has been used to span the large distance.
Here you can see the bracng and additional suppport.
