Shaw Contract is a global leader in commercial flooring, creating solutions designed to positively impact people and the planet. As Design Optimists, we believe thoughtful design strengthens communities and supports wellbeing across tertiary education environments. Our portfolio spans carpet tile, resilient, broadloom, rugs and custom flooring, each developed to perform in demanding campus settings.
In higher education, every space contributes to student success. From lecture theatres and libraries to student accommodation, today’s campuses must support connection, focus and flexibility. Shaw Contract flooring is designed for the realities of university life, reducing noise, improving comfort underfoot and standing up to high traffic while supporting healthy indoor environments through a strong focus on material health and low-emitting products.
We understand what matters to facilities and asset management teams: durability, ease of maintenance and long-term value. Our solutions prioritise lifecycle cost, cleanability and efficient replacement strategies to minimise disruption in active environments.
Since 1985, Shaw Contract has led with transparency and innovation, pioneering sustainable solutions including PVC-free EcoWorx® carpet tile + resilient and EcoSolution Q100®, a high-performance nylon fibre made with 100% recycled content. Guided by our People Together, Planet Forever™ commitments, we also offer end-of-life material recovery through our re[TURN]® Reclamation Program.
Backed by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company, we combine global capability with local insight to support education projects across Australia and New Zealand.
