Tufts University to Install Signage System on Boston Campus

Tufts University to Install Signage System on Boston Campus

BOSTON (May 20, 2014) — Tufts University is pleased to announce the installation of an external signage system on its Boston Health Sciences campus beginning on Tuesday, May 27.  The new system of banners, maps, and kiosks is designed to help visitors find their way to university and Tufts Medical Center buildings and also establish a more cohesive campus identity. The installation is expected to be completed by June 27. 

Thirteen perforated metal banners will hang from building entrances on Kneeland and Washington Streets and on Harrison Avenue.  Eight campus maps will be affixed to walls at key points where visitors are most likely to seek directions, including the Tufts Medical Center parking garage. Five free-standing kiosks will also hold maps that will help orient visitors. The installation is not expected to impact pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and the university is committed to minimizing any impact the installation may have on the community. 

The first stage of work will involve the installation of metal connections on selected building exteriors to allow for banner suspension.  After limited sidewalk excavation, kiosks will be installed, followed by the mounting of banners. 

The Boston Redevelopment Authority approved the university’s final signage plan, and a Chinatown advisory committee signed off on the proposal and provided advice on colors and other areas of interest to the Chinatown community.

The project was developed by Roll Barresi & Associates in association with Design Communications Ltd., which will install the signage. 

Tufts University’s Health Sciences campus in Boston is home to the School of Medicine, Sackler School for Graduate Biomedical Sciences, School of Dental Medicine, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging.  Tufts Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital of Tufts University School of Medicine. 

Members of the community who have questions about the project may contact Barbara Rubel, Tufts University’s Director of Community Relations at (617) 627-3780.
