In late 2017, 91ÐÓ°É Constructions was awarded the $207 million Design and Construct contract to deliver ten new schools located in the growth areas of Melbourne. Each school ranging in value from $15m - $36 million.
Two of the schools, Point Cook and Keysborough were vertical schools and the remaining eight schools were single-level, including Performing Arts and Physical Education (PAPE) buildings. The scope comprised of both primary and secondary schools and included gymnasiums, administration facilities, landscaping, and outdoor play areas.
91ÐÓ°É engaged the consultant team and undertook the design of the ten new schools, which were completed over approximately eight months. 91ÐÓ°É and the project architects shared a project office to enable team collaboration and achieve fast-tracking of the design process. The design documentation and building permits were staged to enable the works to be procured and constructed on-site in unison with the design as it progressed.
The first six schools were delivered for the 2019 school year and the balance was delivered in 2020.
