2011 AIA Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture (WA); 2011 AIA Commendation for Public Architecture (WA)

Curtin Vocational Training and Education Centre Kalgoorlie Campus received an extensive upgrade to their trades training workshop facilities in 2009. Part of this work required the creation of a new specialist 1100m2 metal fabrication training facility. The new facility includes a range of training workshops for metal fabrication, seminar rooms, offices and ancillary amenities. The Colorbond metal cladding that completely envelopes the building is shaped in ways to create a generous veranda, general cladding, provide a visual screen and to create a low-level ventilation skirt.
