Banners and Pageantry
As an iconic higher education institution and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the University has chief guidelines and processes that direct how banners and other pageantry are displayed on and around Grounds.
This process – which unites the Office of the Architect for the University, University Communications and Facilities Management – ensures that banners and other pageantry are displayed with consideration for the University’s historic significance. To this end, we design and present artwork that is consistent with our brand identity and integrity, creating a coherent experience for our visitors and community.
NOTE: Banners are not to be hung on or around facilities or building columns. Please refer to the Light Pole and Temporary Banner sections for additional information related to these systems.
Request Process
As a key step in this process, the three groups listed above will review all pageantry and banner requests that involve installations on or bordering Grounds. To request banners or pageantry and to view pricing for temporary banners, please download and fill out the Banner and Pageantry Request Form.
