XSIGN
Project Name: University of Birmingham, Molecular Sciences Building
Clients: University of Birmingham, Associated Architects, and Morgan Sindall
Sector: Schools, colleges and universities
Location: Birmingham (UK)
Role: Sign design, wayfinding, manufacture, and installation
The Brief: xsign were specified to provide the internal and external signage at the brand new University of Birmingham Molecular Sciences building.
Outcome: The internal scheme includes a mixture of our patented signage systems, Jigsaw and Folio, to create a truly flexible and long-lasting signage scheme which can be updated over time as the use of the building changes.
Externally, at the entrance to the building, we have manufactured built up letters constructed from copper effect material. The elements are mounted to a metal framework with strong blind bolt fixings. On the west elevation, we have installed a white halo illuminated crest and lettering. The crest, lettering and the framework weigh in at more than 500kg – requiring a lot
of planning to install safely.
