Forward Thinking: UW Business School’s Collaborative Learning Center

When the University of Wisconsin School of Business was developing an innovative new collaborative learning center, they came to Thysse to get help with showcasing their forward-thinking brand. The centerpiece of the Grainger Learning Commons project is the acknowledgment of the donors that made the 100% donor-funded space possible. Thysse needed to create a donor wall that reflected the forward-thinking brand of the school. We developed a sleek, LED-lit, monotone wall that celebrates Grainger donors through light and shadow. Understated and tasteful, the artwork uses light and shadow to create a visually-striking focal point to the space without being overpowering.

The school’s “Forward” brand and its accompanying forward-directed chevron brand mark is integrated into Thysse’s designs throughout the space. The custom privacy vinyl Thysse designed and produced for all of the glass classroom walls is even comprised of millions of tiny chevron logos … subtle, but meaningful.

MEETING ROOM PRIVACY VINYL

The collaborative learning space features several unique spaces. Thysse used metal dimensional letterforms to create a clean, modern room naming system. The metal letters add a high-end look that matches the beautiful custom wood work in each area.
