A UQ building you can take with you
In those years at UQ, we hurried past this building almost every day—
running to class, chasing deadlines, moving between the library and interviews.
When jacarandas were in bloom, a soft violet light fell on the sandstone,
and none of us really thought about the day we’d have to say goodbye.
So I turned it into a small brick model.
Back at your desk—writing assignments, polishing your CV, planning your next step—
it sits beside you, as if reminding you:
You were really here.
You really lived under the jacarandas for a while.
Build it with friends before graduation and take a photo that belongs only to your year.
After you leave Brisbane, let it live on your desk, your shelf, or your bedside table.
On nights when everything feels a bit too much, you might look up and remember:
you’ve already been brave—more than you think.
This isn’t just a box of bricks.
It’s the main building you walked past every day,
shrunk into something you can hold in your hands.
Perfect for
A thoughtful UQ gift or graduation gift—a campus keepsake, a Brisbane memory, and a desk display you’ll actually want to keep.
A small reminder, every day
A calm piece of campus that stays with you—cheering for your next chapter.
