Environmental Branding

Introduction

Years ago, the University of Central Florida (UCF) made FAIRWINDS  their official student banking services provider. The Exchange is a building on UCF's campus sponsored and presented by FAIRWINDS.

The Problem

The Exchange was originally designed to look like another UCF student services building with ample space for special events or guest lectures.

The Solution

Working closely with executives from both FAIRWINDS  and UCF uncovered a desire to update The Exchange to function as a lounge area where students could study or socialize.

Visual Direction

This project had so many moving parts starting with paint swatch selections and vendor quotes for custom vinyl wraps.


The accuracy of wall and window measurements and the approval of furniture selections meant multiple mockups were created before design files were finalized.

Environmental Branding

Collaboration between multiple vendors, UCF, and the FAIRWINDS  team were essential to ensure everything from outdoor signage, interior applications, and furniture delivery/assembly was organized and accounted for.

FAIRWINDS  was so pleased with the final outcome of The Exchange, they've decided to revisit their branch locations with plans to update the environmental branding within the next few years.
