It's pretty rare to see significant construction accidents in Australia lately, it seems; and this one seems particularly embarrassing given where it happened. (Not that, I presume, the school or its graduates necessarily had much to do with it, I suppose):
At least one person is believed to be dead and several injured after a building under construction at Curtin University collapsed after midday WA time on Tuesday.
The construction site at Curtin’s Bentley campus has been closed, and police, firefighters and ambulance officers rushed to the scene after part of the building collapsed at around 12.30pm....
The five-storey building under construction is part of Curtin’s new facility called Exchange, and features a glass courtyard as part of the new School of Design and the Built Environment. It was due for completion in 2021.
