Education Facilities

With over 70 years of experience, we are more than ready to provide a painting and maintenance solution for your school, childcare or university, and help ensure it looks its best, year in and year out.

Education facilities projects

At Higgins Coatings we’ve worked with many Australian schools and understand the special requirements education facilities schools need to undertake work. We will tailor a maintenance painting solution to your specific needs, which will help you manage your budgets, ensure that there is minimal disruption for staff and students and keep the buildings looking fresh at all times. All of which is planned and delivered based on our Tri-Certification Accreditation for Safety, Quality and Environment, which means we take our WHS seriously, so you can rest assured and focus on the students, teachers and parents while we get the work done.

Ever wondered how the colour you choose to paint your educational facility affects your staff and students? In our video below we delve into the Psychology of Colour!
