Multiplex has awarded a $120 million façades and structures contract to SRG Global for work on the Edith Cowan University city campus project, which broke ground earlier this month.
A sod-turning ceremony was held February 20 to mark the start of construction at the $853 million ECU campus located in Perth’s Yagan Square.
Set to be completed in 2025 and opening to students in 2026, the Creative Industries, Business and Technology Campus will be the first comprehensive university in the CBD once built.
The start of construction last week marked a sign of progress on an otherwise delayed and increasingly costly $1.5 billion Perth City Deal.
Head contractor Multiplex has selected Subiacio-based engineering services firm SRG Global to design, supply, and install specialist-engineered curtain wall facades and structures works at the campus.
The work is valued at approximately $120 million.
SRG managing director David Macgeorge said his company, which inked a deal to acquire ALS subsidiary Asset Care for $80 million this month, was in a period of significant momentum.
“We continue to secure significant contracts, on some of the most important developments across Australia, demonstrating the value of our long-term, trusted relationships with our key clients,” he said, noting the group had won $910 million worth of new contracts since July.
Work is set to start immediately and is set to be complete in 2025.
The campus is set to include six WAAPA public performance venues, a digital media façade and immersive entrance, digital smart labs and industry engagement hub and radio television and film studios, among other amenities.
The federal government is set to commit $294 million to the campus, the state government $199 million and ECU $360 million.
On the market, SRG shares were off 0.64 per cent to trade at 78 cents.
