As you make your way around campus in the coming days, you may notice some new exterior signs sporting the University colors and updated brand elements.
These full-scale mockups can be seen in front of the School of Education building, at Gray Residence Hall, and on Walker Avenue in front of Coleman building.
Pending approval of the designs, a plan will be devised to implement the updated signage across the University.
Exterior signage is an important part of helping faculty, staff, students, and community members find their way around campus, but it also plays a key role in establishing a unified and vibrant campus identify. As our campus grows and evolves, signage plays an important, unifying role in defining campus clearly and consistently.
The new signs are designed to last a minimum of 10 years. Future signs will be updated based on wear and tear, location, public visibility, funding, and other considerations.
