The Melbourne Recital Centre, the Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC) and the Hepburn Springs Bathhouse redevelopment have received top honours at the Master Builders Excellence in Construction Awards, held in Melbourne recently.
Bovis Lend Lease was presented with the Master Builder of the Year Award for the Recital Centre and the MTC project, which also won the Excellence in Construction Award for buildings over $80 million. A.W. Nicholson was awarded the Regional Builder of the Year Award for its work on the Hepburn Springs Bathhouse.
"The Melbourne Recital Centre and MTC Theatre join a long list of iconic Victorian projects to win the coveted award," said Master Builders deputy executive director, Radley de Silva. "This project included pioneering techniques with the extensive use of free-form glass, reinforced concrete panel and acoustic hoop pine panelling. Its stunning facade is matched by its acoustic performance internally."
The Melbourne Recital Centre and MTC Theatre are now in the running for the National Excellence in Construction Awards, to be announced on the Gold Coast in November.
