Objective

The Rivier Athletics Pavilion will provide stadium-style seating and facilities for fans, four team locker rooms, an athletic training room with work stations, and a press box which will allow for live stats and video for all events hosted at Joanne Merrill Field. Rivier’s objective was to brand their new Pavilion utilizing the Rivier Athletic logo’s while finding creative ways of dedicating the naming of the Pavilion and Athletic field.

Result

Ultimately, communication was the key to ensuring quality control ran smoothly throughout the entire Rivier branding project. Brandit made sure everyone was on the same page while collaborating with all internal stakeholders. Brandit conducted a thorough physical space audit which allowed conversations to flow between structural engineers and the Brandit installation team about the best applications for attaching ½ dimensional aluminum letters into a steel beam 22 feet in the air.

Brandit also took the time to meet with the team of creative professionals at Rivier to discuss their vision of tying their brand identity into the project. All the factors Brandit took into consideration on this project helped the Presidents achieve her main goal of contributing to the growth of the University and transforming the student experience in many ways, ultimately raising Rivier’s level of play in athletic competition, recruitment and community engagement.

From design to installation, Brandit ensured quality control and met critical timelines for the field naming which was commemorated at the Athletics Pavilion dedication in September 2019.
