Pure Image Signs & Graphics fabricates and installs educational institution signage across Maple Ridge, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. Our team has firsthand experience working with universities, school districts, and daycare centers, producing signage tailored for every campus space.
A school’s environment shapes how students feel, how parents perceive safety, and how smoothly daily operations run. Clear, durable campus signage does more than identify buildings. It guides visitors, reinforces security, supports accessibility, and reflects the professionalism of your institution.
For nearly a decade, Pure Image Signs & Graphics has partnered with schools, daycares, and universities across the Lower Mainland to design, fabricate, and install signage systems that work in real-world educational settings. From prominent building identifiers and wayfinding pylons to compliant braille room plaques, every sign is engineered for longevity, safety, and local code compliance.
We manage the entire process — consultation, design coordination, permitting guidance, fabrication, and installation — so administrators and facility teams can focus on what matters most: supporting students and staff.
We have seen firsthand how the right signage delivers practical, measurable benefits for schools and campuses.
Reinforces Brand Identity
Custom signage displaying your colors, logo, and mascot builds recognition and school spirit. We have produced lobby feature walls and exterior building signs that unify campus aesthetics and project a professional image to students, parents, and visitors.
Improves Navigation and Safety
Clear wayfinding signs reduce confusion. In our experience working with large university campuses and multi-building school grounds, directional signage at key decision points helps visitors, students, and staff locate buildings, parking, and event spaces efficiently while enhancing overall campus safety.
Promotes Events and Achievements
Temporary signage is an effective communication tool. We regularly supply banners for open houses, yard signs for congratulating graduates, and vinyl graphics celebrating athletic or academic achievements.
Creates a Positive Environment
Wall graphics and motivational messages in hallways and common areas contribute to a supportive atmosphere. We have installed graphics in elementary schools and university student unions that transform blank walls into engaging, inspiring spaces.
Our team has fabricated and installed signage across the full spectrum of educational environments. Here is what we produce based on direct client requests and site requirements.
University campuses require comprehensive, durable signage systems. We have completed projects for post-secondary institutions that include:
Safety and clear communication are paramount in daycare settings. Based on feedback from daycare operators, we provide:
Based on our installation experience across dozens of educational sites, strategic placement is critical for signage effectiveness. Here is where we typically install signage based on how people actually move through campuses:
Entrances and Grounds
Monument signs, pylon signs, and building-mounted identification letters are placed at main vehicular and pedestrian entry points. This placement gives visitors immediate confirmation that they have arrived at the correct location.
Parking Areas
Parking and directional signs are installed at lot entrances and intersections to guide vehicles and pedestrians safely from lots to building entrances.
Lobbies and Reception
Feature walls with the institution’s logo, fabricated from materials like layered acrylic, are installed directly behind or adjacent to reception desks, where they are the first thing visitors see upon entry.
Hallways and Corridors
Directional signs are mounted at key decision points such as elevator banks, stairwells, and major corridor intersections. Wayfinding panels with campus maps are particularly effective in these high-traffic areas.
Classrooms and Offices
Room signs with raised text and braille are installed on the latch side of each door at a consistent height of 60 inches from the floor, in accordance with BC code requirements.
Athletic Facilities
Ceiling-hung banners and large-format wall graphics are installed in gymnasiums and change rooms to celebrate team achievements and build school spirit.
Sidewalks and High-Traffic Areas
A-frame boards are placed near main walkways or entry points to promote daily events. Floor graphics are applied to high-visibility floor surfaces near entrances or along main corridors.
Over the years, serving educational clients, we have learned which materials perform best in specific applications. We select materials based on traffic levels, cleaning requirements, and weather exposure.
