It is also providing full cost management services and advisory for the new Arthur Phillip High School and Parramatta Public School, which are being built through an investment of more than AU$100m.

Minister for Education Adrian Piccoli said: “An international competition for the tender ensured the schools will have the best possible educational facilities.

"By building a high-rise school we've been able to significantly increase the size of the playground as well as cater for more students at Arthur Phillip High School".

Turner & Townsend’s managing director for Australia New Zealand, Anooj Oodit, said: “Vertical high-rise schools are an increasing trend in modern cities as communities look to accommodate growing populations and new ways of learning. The re-development of Arthur Phillip High School and Parramatta Public School will set the benchmark for future high-rise schools in Australia. Through our extensive experience delivering complex education projects, we are delighted to have been appointed on the project to support the department in achieving the projects objectives.”
