St. Paul VI Catholic High School partnered with Gropen to develop a comprehensive wayfinding and experiential graphic design system that would support navigation, enhance the campus identity, and celebrate donors. Working closely with faculty and school leadership, Gropen created clear, visually engaging signage that balances functionality with school branding and student engagement.
The project included interior and exterior directional signage, custom dimensional wall graphics, donor recognition elements, and interactive features designed to engage students and visitors alike. Dimensional lettering, acrylic panels, photopolymer signage, and printed vinyl were combined with vibrant school colors and motifs to create a cohesive visual identity throughout the campus.
This project illustrates how Gropen combines clear wayfinding, storytelling, and donor recognition to create a cohesive, engaging campus experience that supports both students and visitors.
