PCOM asked us to very quickly design building signage to honor the donation of a prominent alumnus. Our work was to adorn exterior as well as interior surfaces and span a wide variety of types and sizes — including signage to rededicate two major campus buildings.
Signage and communication has always been fundamental to VSBA’s approach, especially for academic campuses. Prominent donor recognition signage both celebrates an important contribution and serves the communicative needs of the campus community, so we believe it should be artistically crafted but clear, legible, and distinct.
At PCOM, our designs built on building signage we had created for Meta Christy House, working toward what might someday become campus design standards for signage.
Our designs for the Hassman Academic Center (formerly Evans Hall) included a new exterior building entry sign, lobby dedication text, donor dedication plaque, and lettering / plaque for a portrait at the entrance to their administrative suite.
For the Hassman Family Medicine Center (formerly Rowland Hall), our designs included a large illuminated exterior building entry sign, reception desk signs, and prominent wall text and plaque at the elevator landing.
