Cromwell College at UQ, St Lucia – Durability plus

8 April 2025
Cromwell College is well reputed and sought after residential student accommodation at the University of Queensland.

Made up of a number of buildings, there are accommodation and amenity blocks across the complex ranging from 2 to 4 stories with some variance in the types of construction. There are a large number of rooms in total as the accommodation is all single bedrooms for the college’s capacity of 247.

During the education calendar, the college is busy and paint durability is a serious issue for the college. The ability to clean painted surfaces is also an important consideration, particularly in common areas and kitchens.

Wilko Painting has established themselves as the “preferred painter” for the complex after a number of successful projects have run on time and on budget. Wilko Painting’s experience across Brisbane and specific knowledge about painting student accommodation have set them apart, as has their pursuit of excellence.

Knowledge and expertise that applies to projects such as Cromwell College includes:

  • Project management and timing to align with non-educational calendar painting schedules
  • Using of semi-gloss paints in areas of high-wear, cooking and dorm-rooms.
  • Efficiencies and preparation related to commercial re-paint expertise.

Dulux “Wash and Wear” Semi Gloss was the used extenisively on this project to meet the rigors of student behaviours.

All these factors make Wilko Painting an obvious choice for Cromwell College. Experts in commercial painting and repainting across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, Wilko Painting have over 60 employed staff as a commitment to quality and long wearing paint life.
