Serving more than 25,000 students, one of our recent projects landed us at Thompson Rivers University in beautiful British Columbia. The school, which offers over 140 on-campus programs and 60-plus Open Learning programs, continues to grow across its main campus in Kamloops and across its secondary campus in Williams Lake.
In addition to its highly respected academics programming, TRU is also home to the Wolfpack athletics program, which has been making a name for itself in soccer, basketball and volleyball, among others. As part of their budding athletic programming, our team was contacted to help design some padding for use in the gymnasium at the Kamloops campus. Key stakeholders at TRU were looking to provide protection for their student athletes from collisions into walls below basketball nets; one of the most common areas we provide padding for in gymnasiums.
After receiving the measurements from the school, our team got to work designing the simple padding solution to be placed at both ends of the courts. Taking it a step further and in an effort to display a bit more school pride, the conversation quickly went to custom colour options as well as having the school’s logo printed on the pads. With a firm belief that every gymnasium provides a great branding opportunity, we happily walked them through all of the available options.
Ultimately, they selected their custom colourways for the new padding and our team seamlessly printed the school’s athletic logo across the padding as well. The result is a stunning representation of school spirit that looks great while serving the purpose of keeping student athletes safe.
If you’re looking to have your school logo or team name placed on your next padding project, all we need is a copy of your logo and our design team can do the rest.
