University Centre Farnborough
To support the phenomenal growth of the University Centre of Farnborough, a new building was commissioned to house a library and study centre, while also forming the new main campus entrance to the College.

The brief called for striking signage that would mirror the building and enhance the visibility of the College, creating a more immediate link between it and the surrounding community.
The main entrance signs were made from precision-cut, fine-grained, stainless steel letters, which are halo illuminated with LEDs. This created a warming juxtaposition against the pale textured brickwork, exposed steel columns and timber panels that form the structure.
The result is bold and expressive signage, and a wayfinding scheme that captures the striking character of the building, while radiating openness and clarity.
