Whittlesea Secondary College will work with Tandem Design Studios to undertake master planning of the school’s upgrade.
The appointment marks a significant step towards the college’s multi-million dollar upgrade.
Member for Yan Yean Lauren Kathage said the appointment of architects was a welcome and exciting development for Whittlesea and the surrounding community.
“I made it clear during the last election that upgrading this school was a top priority. We secured the planning funds, and now, with an architect appointed, the process is officially underway,” she said.
“Our commitment to Whittlesea Secondary College reflects our dedication to providing our students with the best possible education and learning environment.”
“This is an opportunity for the school to shape their school facilities to best suit their students and set them up for success.”
College principal Kathy Mourkakos said the college’s administration would work closely with Tandem Design Studios to ensure the upgrade aligned with the school’s vision.
“Through this building project we are looking forward to the future in providing our staff and students with the best resources, facilities, and environment for them to continue to learn and be successful in their educational pathway,” she said.
