Bunbury company MCG Architects announced to design $7 million technology block at Eaton Community College

A Bunbury architect has been appointed to design a $7 million technology block for Eaton Community College. The State Government announced on Tuesday MCG Architects would be designing the new facilities, which are set to include a commercial and domestic food studio with room for a cafe and a textiles studio. The revamp, which is set to be completed in 2024, is a State Government election commitment and also includes a mechatronics lab, woodwork and machine workshop and a metalwork room. The Government said the plans for the new building also included a new student hub, design and planning room and an external work area, and an adjacent staff study area would be refurbished and incorporated into the new building structure. Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery said these features would help students receive a “well-rounded” education. “It’s important for students in Western Australia to have access to a well-rounded education that helps them to carve out a path beyond the classroom,” he said. “Design and technology pursuits have always been a key part of secondary schooling, and this new dedicated design and technology building will have the latest computer enhanced systems to ensure students at Eaton Community College benefit from the modern facilities. “It’s an exciting step into the future for students and families at Eaton Community College.”
