Construction contract awarded for new Armidale Secondary College

Release date: 16 January 2019

Construction work will soon commence on the new Armidale Secondary College, with Richard Crookes Constructions awarded the main works construction tender.

The new school is being developed on the current Armidale High School site, consolidating Armidale High School and Duval High School. Sized for approximately 1,500 students, it will include modern facilities in 79 new classrooms, new school buildings, improved performing arts and sports facilities, attractive landscaping and design features that connect indoor and outdoor learning.

The school will include learning neighbourhoods with flexible, adaptable spaces that help students use modern technology, while working independently and in groups. The new school will also include specialist facilities to support science, industrial arts, hospitality, performing arts and agricultural studies.

The redevelopment works are set to begin in early 2019, with completion of the new Armidale Secondary College scheduled for the beginning of 2021. 

The NSW Government's 2018/19 Budget includes $6 billion over four years to deliver more than 170 new and upgraded schools. A further $160 million has also been invested as part of the record $747 million maintenance investment announced last year. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.
