Stantec to provide engineering services for Western Australia's first comprehensive city centre university campus through one of five major contracts awarded in Perth City Deal milestone
02 September 2021 - 12:45PM
NYSE, TSX:STN
Global design and engineering firm Stantec was
selected as lead engineer for the Edith Cowan University (ECU) City
in Perth. The firm is part of a consortium of leading local,
national, and international architects and engineers that will
design the AUS$695 million project.
The project represents one of the largest contracts to come from
the AUS$1.5 billion Perth City Deal to date. Announced last year,
the Perth City Deal seeks to re-energize Perth, bringing government
and private investment into the Central Business District, creating
almost 10,000 jobs while encouraging more people back into the city
to bring economic benefits for small businesses.
As lead engineer, Stantec will provide civil and structural
engineering as well as building and traffic planning services.
Australian architectural firm Lyons, in partnership with
Perth-based Silver Thomas Hanley and international architects
Haworth Tompkins, have been announced as the design team. Marshall
Day will carry out the City Campus' acoustic engineering. Urbis
will lead on town planning. Donald Cant Watts Corke is already
working on site providing quantity surveying services.
The concept designs have been submitted as part of the
Development Application process for ECU City, which will be Western
Australia's first comprehensive city centre university campus—the
centrepiece of the Perth City Deal.
Developed over two sites, the 60,000-square-meter,
11-super-level ECU City is envisioned as a highly transparent,
animated downtown streetscape with a rich variety of activity
occurring within the performance spaces, studios, and
state-of-the-art digital labs. The campus represents an opportunity
to integrate creative industries, business, and technology courses
with ECU’s internationally recognized Western Australian Academy of
Performing Arts (WAAPA).
Targeting a Five Star Green Rating, the campus plan features an
intelligent façade design that provides sun shading. Inside, the
building will feature adaptive and energy efficient climate control
with natural ventilation. Advanced technology will be on display
throughout the space with a dynamic digital media façade and
immersive entrance, Cyber Security Operations Centre, world-class
digital hub for global business education, motion capture film
studio, spatial sound lab, and next generation technology programs
and labs.
The new campus aims to attract over 9,000 students and staff by
2025, growing to over 11,000 students and staff by 2034.
Construction is expected to begin in 2021 and the campus will open
in 2025.
The project award represents the most recent in a series of
gains resulting from Stantec’s regional acquisition strategy in the
Australia & New Zealand market. Within the past three years,
the firm has acquired Engenium, GTA Consultants, Wood & Grieve
Engineers, and The Traffic Design group to enhance a broader,
multidiscipline presence to support clients. Newly integrated
regional Stantec design teams formed through acquisitions will
support every facet of the ECU project.
