Situated in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains on the western flank of the Rockies,
Weber State University's main campus covers more than
500 acres and is home to 60 major buildings.
Weber
State selected Corbin to develop a comprehensive campus identity and
exterior wayfinding system for the campus, to help drivers and
pedestrians quickly and efficiently find their way around.
The system's
goal was to unify and bring coherence to the campus. The design conveys
the Weber State identity by incorporating the university shield
and Weber's "Wildcat
Purple," "University Gray" and "University
Gold" colors. Angled header elements on major sign types reflect
the area's mountainous terrain.
The modular design
of directional and identification sign types allows cost-efficient
updating of individual sign panels rather than entire signs as locations
are added or location names change.
