The signage program will represent one of the rare times a single purchase will be made for a product that will be used at UConn's main and regional campuses as well as at the Health Center and School of Law. Signs will be similar at all campuses, but the bases for the entry signs will differ depending on location. For instance, the entry signs at Storrs may be fieldstone, while the Law School will feature granite bases, reflecting the materials in that campus's buildings. The Health Center will have yet another style base, reflecting the materials of choice for that location. The signs also will use the same typeface as the University's new letterhead.
Signs are integral to any type of renovation, they're so visible.
It puts the University's best foot forward. We needed a system that would be appropriate for the range of architectural styles that exist on our campuses. Officials hope the bids will be out before year's end, with installation beginning in the spring.
