Willetton Senior High School has received the highest accolade – the George Temple Poole Award – at the recent 2017 Western Australian Architecture Awards.

Designed by Hassell, the high school has been commended for its significant contribution to the advancement of educational architecture in Western Australia. Willetton Senior High School was also recognised with the Hillson Beasley Award for Educational Architecture.

“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,” says the jury.

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

Projects such as Officer Woods Architects’ East Pilbara Arts Centre were also recognised with multiple awards. The arts centre for the small community of Newman received the Jeffery Howlett Award for Public Architecture, and was acknowledged with two commendations – one for Sustainable Architecture, and another for Steel Architecture.

Other awarded projects included Boranup House by MORQ, North Perth Townhouse by Simon Pendal Architect, and The Pocket by Cameron Chisholm Nicol, South Terrace - Supported Accommodation Hostel by spaceagency.

Named award and general award winners from the Western Australia chapter will now progress to the AIA’s National Architecture Awards, to be announced in Canberra on 2 November 2017.
