Contract awarded for $150m Victorian school construction

A $150m project has been awarded by the Victorian Government for the construction of eight new primary schools in key growth areas across the state.

ADCO has been appointed the builder to complete the 2020 New Schools Project by the Victorian School Building Authority.

CEO of ADCO Neil Harding said that previous experience on Victorian schools influenced ADCO’s selection as builder.

“Upon our completion of Richmond High School and award-winning South Melbourne Primary School, VSBA recognised ADCO’s confidence in completing both buildings to a high standard and in a timely manner,” he said.

“ADCO demonstrated a clear understanding of the brief, identified the key challenges and highlighted how we are best placed to manage this important state government project.”

The project is hoped to be completed in time for the commencement of the 2020 new school year.
