History
John Scarborough was a notable architect who started his career with Scarborough, Robertson and Love in Melbourne. The registered partnership John F.D. Scarborough and Partners was incorporated in 1965. Following the death of John Scarborough in 1971 the firm was purchased by the remaining directors and now operates as Scarborough Architects, a trading name registered in 2000.
John F. D. Scarborough and Partners designed a range of commercial and private buildings including several church buildings for the Presbyterian church in the 1940s. They moved into design of academic libraries with the first commissioned university library at the University of Melbourne, the Baillieu library. This was followed by designs for Monash University and the Australian National University’s R.G. Menzies building.
