Think Signs Transforming Bournemouth University’s Fusion Building
In early 2018, Think Signs was honored to collaborate with Bournemouth University on an exciting project aimed at improving navigation across their iconic Fusion Building. Tasked with designing and manufacturing internal and external wayfinders, our mission was to help maximize the efficiency of the campus by ensuring students and staff could easily find their way around.
Client: Bournemouth University
Date: 2018 to Today
Service: Window Graphics, Signage, Wayfinding and Corporate Signage

The Purpose of Wayfinders
Wayfinding signage plays a critical role in enhancing the user experience on campuses as dynamic as Bournemouth University. With its modern architecture and bustling environment, the Fusion Building required clear, aesthetically pleasing signage to point individuals in the right direction. This project exemplified our ability to design solutions that are both functional and aligned with the institution’s branding.
Tailored Design and Precision Manufacturing
The University’s internal team typically handles installations, meaning our responsibility was to ensure that every element was flawlessly designed and manufactured to exact specifications. Each wayfinder was carefully tailored to fit its intended location, whether it was an external sign to guide visitors or internal signage to aid navigation.
From concept to completion, our team maintained close communication with Bournemouth University to guarantee that every detail met their expectations. This collaborative approach allowed us to deliver wayfinders that seamlessly integrated with the Fusion Building’s modern aesthetic while serving their practical purpose.
Meeting Challenges with Expertise
The project presented several unique challenges:
- Accurate Sizing: Ensuring that every design fit perfectly in both internal and external spaces required meticulous attention to detail during the planning and manufacturing phases.
- Safe Delivery: The wayfinders needed to be securely packaged to arrive at their destination undamaged, ready for installation by the University’s fitters.
- Timely Completion: With a strict timeline in place, we worked diligently to meet deadlines without compromising quality.
By leveraging our expertise and commitment to excellence, Think Signs overcame these challenges and delivered a solution that exceeded the client’s expectations.
Key Success Factors
The success of this project can be attributed to three critical factors:
- Timely Delivery: All wayfinders were produced and delivered on schedule, ensuring no disruptions to the University’s operations.
- Uncompromising Quality: Our attention to detail and precision manufacturing resulted in signage that met the highest standards.
- Clear Communication: Regular updates and collaboration with Bournemouth University ensured that the project ran smoothly from start to finish.
