Newton Abbot College


In 2008 Signs Now were invited to Knowles Hill School in Newton Abbot, Devon because during the summer their status was going to change from that of a school into a college - Newton Abbot College.

The campus was split over 2 sites and the challenge was to suitably sign each one, provide way-finding signs around and between each and to advertise the college in a smart professional looking way to drivers passing by.

After a survey of the sites we discussed the various options using our portfolio and samples. A design company had provided the new branding so we were able to take this back with us so we could develop proposals. It was important to work closely with the designers to ensure the new brand was adhered to. We proposed and developed a mixture of freestanding monoliths, post and panels signs, interior and exterior wall signs as well as individual cut letters mounted directly onto the building.

Once approval was given we were then able to manufacture and install all signs in-house, - again ensuring consistency.

The college itself has been very impressed with the final job; Alison McDermott who is the learning support and marketing manager says "Thanks for the wonderful signs, everyone is happy with them and I am particularly impressed by your level of service and attention to detail".
