Strategic Improvements: Master Plan Color Study
Philadelphia’s Daroff Design recently conducted a color study for Drexel University as part of an on-going effort to transform the campus. The goal, stated on page 3 of the study, is to “reimagine the Drexel campus in light of a collegiate architectural tradition, updating old symbols in favor of a new language that embodies the current University ethos.” To achieve this goal, the study suggests the following strategy, also found on page 3: “develop a more refined color palette that can be utilized throughout the campus which complements both new projects and existing buildings. Consider achievable ways in which to implement the new palette and establish standards for application.”
