In March 2017 Kane was awarded the Design and Construct contract to deliver the Professor Lynn Corcoran Early Learning Centre.

The centre consists of a five-level 100 place early childhood centre for children aged three months to six years located at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Parkville, Melbourne.

A first of its kind for a medical institute in Australia, the new facility provides:

  • A flexible, multi-purpose space suitable for combined activities, play groups, health and consultation services
  • Six large rooms serviced with bathrooms, staff rooms, arts spaces and storage areas
  • Access to shaded, external play areas
  • Long day care and an early learning centre incorporating three-year old and four-year old kindergarten programs
  • The opportunity for play groups, health and other services

This project reached Practical Completion in the second quarter of 2018.
