Bau’s SMK Lake receives RM78.8m redevelopment with 42 classrooms
-
SMK Lake in Bau has received a RM78.8 million redevelopment that includes 42 classrooms and hostel accommodation for 300 students, after construction was staged around continuing lessons.
The project was handed over at the school on Oct 28, DayakDaily reported. JKR Malaysia said work began in January 2023 and was divided into two phases so pupils could remain in the old buildings while new blocks were built.
For families, the important distinction is between the facilities provided and the number of places actually available for admission. The 300-student figure describes hostel accommodation; it is not an announcement of 300 new vacancies or a new intake.
The first phase received its Certificate of Partial Occupation on Aug 17, 2026. That earlier milestone and the Oct 28 handover are separate dates in the project’s delivery, rather than evidence that every part first opened on the same day.
JKR said the design-and-build project required close coordination between the contractor, consultants and school management to limit disruption. Its account also stressed assigning responsibility and following up construction issues until their resolution is confirmed.
