Wall Art

Approved wall art can be purchased through graphics via iPrint. Details coming soon. 

Any project not using pre-approved wall art must be approved by the Creatives department. They can be contacted via email.

Due to the increasing number and complexity of requests for wall design featuring University branded elements—images, logos, graphics, quotations—in highly-trafficked public spaces on campus, Villanova University is instituting a process by which these requests will be vetted and approved by the appropriate area Vice President or Dean and reviewed by the University Executive Council, prior to being submitted for design, production and execution.

This process will help with prioritization and ensure that requests serve a strategic purpose, are properly funded, and executed within brand guidelines.

Examples of Branded Wall Design

• Designed wall wraps/clings using University images, logos, quotations or graphics
• Mounted poster enlargements
• Logos or other campus branding/identifiers adhered to walls in public spaces on campus
• Murals or collages featuring campus images, graphics or logos

Examples of Interior Spaces

• Highly-trafficked campus offices/spaces that are public-facing: such as Admissions office, Residence Life, Financial Assistance, Connelly Center, The Refectory, Parliament Coffee Shop, Finneran Pavilion, Villanova Shop, Garey Hall Alumni offices. 
• Common areas, hallways: such as Dougherty 2nd floor hallway (Student Involvement offices), campus dining facilities/coffee shops; residence halls. 
• Centralized offices and centers: such as Dean’s office reception areas/hallways; Office of the President, Office of the Provost, public-facing hallways and offices within colleges (Tolentine or CEER hallway; Driscoll lobby or hallways, Bartley hallways, Mendel, SAC, etc.)
