Open

New Building With the majority of the delays now behind us, we are proud to announce that Cromwell’s new building finally opened for 54 of our new and returning students on Monday 7 March. Although the students are in, there is still work to be done to finish the project, and we expect this to be finalised soon.

It was certainly an ambitious task to commence such a large building program mid last year for a January 2011 opening, and the inevitable delays with such a large project, along with the floods, took their toll. This resulted in the project not being ready for the start of semester. We sincerely thank the many students who commuted or found alternative accommodation off campus until the new building was ready. Despite these temporary setbacks, as the students continue to settle into their new rooms, and feel comfortable, the benefits of the new building will rise exponentially. It is a terrific facility that adds significantly to the suite of existing, recently refurbished buildings here at Cromwell. Comprising of 12 modern four bedroom apartments and three two bedroom apartments with bathrooms and shared kitchen and common area facilities, the new building offers outstanding College accommodation featuring the most up to date and advanced surrounds and utilities. Each room is fully furnished with an extra long single bed, with mattress and protector, pillow and protector, desk, desk chair, desk lamp, wardrobe, shelving, drawers, small fridge and ceiling fan to give our residents the highest degree of comfort whilst living at Cromwell College. This addition to the College does mean though, that Cromwell has gone significantly into debt for the first time in many years and as such, we are asking you to assist in the reduction of this debt, so that Cromwell may continue to offer and provide the best residential care to you, your children and your children’s children. If you are able to make a tax deductible donation to the Cromwell College Foundation, please complete the donation form on the back page and return to Anna East at the Cromwell office. We are sincerely grateful to our current residents and their families, Alumni and Friends of the College, for their ongoing support.
