Enriching Education Design celebrated at the 2017 WA Architecture Awards

Willetton Senior High School has been bestowed with the highest accolade, the George Temple Poole Award, at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2017 WA Architecture Awards.

Celebrating excellence in design and construction, the Awards were held on Friday, June 23, at Crown Towers II Ballroom. Designed by HASSELL, the High School has been commended on its significant contribution to the advancement of educational architecture in Western Australia.

“The Willetton Senior High School project embodies architecture at the service of its community with its ability to enrich the lives of the students, teachers and staff who use the buildings,” the jury said.

“Its new facilities have been weaved into the existing 1970’s campus which has resulted in an exceptional architectural outcome within the confines of the site and budgetary constraints.”

Willetton Senior High School’s commitment to servicing the community was also recognised with The Hillson Beasley Award for Educational Architecture.

The East Pilbara Arts Centre by Officer Woods Architects, the recipent of the Jeffery Howlett Award for Public Architecture and commendations for Sustainable Architecture and Colorbond® Award for Steel Architecture, was one of several impressive regional projects in the 2017 Awards.The centre has become a highly valued destination and public window for artists of the East Pilbara to gather, create and exhibit their work to the world.

The Architecture Award in the Sustainable category went to the innovative Gen Y Demonstration Housing Project by David Barr Architect. Advocating the benefits of sustainable design is one of the key responsibilities of the Institute, and the jury was impressed with the project’s ability to reinforce that site area or cost isn’t a barrier for good design, sustainability or amenity.

“The 2017 WA Architecture Awards showcase the rich and unique outcomes that can come from clever design- no matter what the budget, site, or location of the project,” said Suzanne Hunt, WA President, Australian Institute of Architects. “WA students and the next generation are so vital to our future, so we were thrilled to award Willetton Senior High School by HASSELL with the prestigious accolade, and thoroughly impressed with other entries in the category.” All Western Australian Named and Architecture Award winners will progress to the Australian Institute of Architects National Awards to be judged against the very best architectural works in the country.
