Architects Turn to Móz Designs for College Campus Mural
"Móz was the perfect fit," explains Julie Gauthier of Perkins+Will. "Working with their digital graphics team and exploring different material substrates eased the entire process."
The clean and minimalist design of the building-which is home to educational programs that focus on process technology and operations for the plastics, food & beverage, and the pharmaceutical industries-perfectly complements the training that happens within its walls. The selection of perforated metal for the large mural was made intentionally, as a way to utilize a versatile industrial material in a uniquely modern way. Designers continued the theme throughout the space with similar material selections and bright colors-familiar in a variety of industrial sites-to highlight specific spaces and act as wayfinding elements throughout the space.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the metal mural also functions as the backdrop for a social gathering space for students, staff, and faculty, thanks to a built-in bench seat for visitors.
Móz Designs perforated metal sheets come in solid-core .063" aluminum material and 4' x 10' sheet sizes. Móz also offers a variety of standard and custom digital imagery
options. Perforated metal sheets are also offered in an extensive range of colors, including options from their Classic, Gradients, Blendz/Patina, Graphix, and Powder Coat collections. Custom colors and sizes are also available.
