PACT to complete Bob Hawke College

PACT Construction has been awarded the contract for the second stage of Bob Hawke College in Subiaco, after the company completed the first stage in 2020.

The $40 million project comprises additional spaces for students, including a performing arts centre, dance and visual arts studios, music rooms and two media studios.

PACT said it delivered the first stage of the secondary school ahead of schedule last year.

HASSELL has been appointed to consult on the design of stage two, which is anticipated to double the school’s capacity to 2,000 students.

“It was a very competitive tender against three other respected builders, so to win it and have our success in Stage One recognised is very important to us,” PACT general manager Jason Thomson said.

Construction is expected to start in April 2021, with facilities to open in time for the 2023 school year.

Since completing the first stage of Bob Hawke College, Pact has won several awards including the 2020 Master Builders Excellence in Construction and the 2020 Major Project Contractor Award from the Department of Finance.
