About This Project

Gampel Pavilion is the home of UConn basketball and one of the most recognizable venues in Connecticut. As the Proud Signage Partner of the UConn Huskies, Sign Pro brought the new M&T Bank Center name to the building's East entrance with 72-inch illuminated letters and a lit Husky Head logo.


Working from a client-provided concept, Sign Pro produced the shop drawings, then fabricated face-lit channel letters with 5-inch aluminum returns in Timeless Silver, white acrylic faces, and UL-listed 24V white LEDs. The Husky Head logo uses 3M translucent blue, deep sea blue, and red vinyl. Together, the letters and logo span about 55 feet across the arena's curved screen wall.

The Challenge

FIVE-PARTY APPROVAL

FIVE-PARTY APPROVAL

M&T Bank, UConn/Legends, SLAM, CES, and UConn Planning (UPDC) all reviewed the design before fabrication.

CURVED SCREEN WALL

CURVED SCREEN WALL

The letters mount to a mesh screen wall with a radius, so spacing had to allow for expansion and contraction.

BRAND PRECISION

BRAND PRECISION

The sign needed the correct M&T font, and a Husky Head placed so it never blocks a letter from any sightline.

How Sign Pro Delivered

Shop Drawings in Two Weeks

Sign Pro issued drawings on September 10 and resolved every comment by Revision 2 on September 24.

Step 1

In-House Fabrication

The letters, raceway, and logo were built at our Plantsville, CT facility with UL-listed LED lighting and corrosion-safe fasteners.

Step 2

Crane-Truck Installation

Crews of up to five set the sign over two install days in October, using a Sign Pro crane truck to lift each letter onto the screen wall.
