Griffith University – Nathan Campus

What began as a small-scale brief — applying a specified charcoal finish to grey ribbed precast and select flat panels — quickly expanded as the client saw the quality of our work firsthand. Following a successful on-site sample, our scope grew to include coating the soffits, additional precast elements, and in-situ concrete surfaces. All works were completed using ECOTONE Minsil onsite, ensuring a consistent and durable finish across the project.

The finished works on the N81 (Technical Annex Building) at Griffith University’s Nathan Campus delivered both aesthetic consistency and long-term durability — key to supporting the facility’s role in environmental research and teaching. The expansion of scope mid-project is a testament to the quality and reliability of our product and team. Working closely with the builder and site team, we maintained safety, flexibility, and program alignment, even as additional areas were brought into scope.

The end result is a cohesive architectural finish that met the expectations of all stakeholders, contributing to the successful delivery of this technically driven, future-focused facility.

Our experience with ECOTONE was very positive.

During the tendering and negotiation stage, we found ECOTONE to be very approachable and open to all discussions.

The final product and colour as well as the subsequent sample approval process was easy and helped both our client and Badge to confirm the specification for the project. ECOTONE approached the delivery with a great professional can do attitude. Of particularly mention was the set up and ongoing safety on site. They worked closely with the site team to stay on track and complete their works as programmed. Even with additional areas added at a later date.  We are very happy with the results and would use ECOTONE again.
