New Sign Greets All Upon Arriving On Campus - UConn Today
The sign was inspired by the ‘LAX’ letters that greet traffic arriving at Los Angeles International Airport.

>>The sign is five individual letters (eight-feet high and two-feet deep each) that make up the familiar UConn wordmark and are made of structural aluminum. The size and durability of the letters will be perfect for people to sit on, pose and take photos, and soon will feature landscaping enhancements and night-time illuminations.
The project was funded in part by private philanthropic donations from a UConn family – Michael ’80 (ENG), ’83 JD and Shari Cantor ’81 (BUS) of West Hartford, Connecticut. Shari is a member of the UConn Board of Trustees, while Michael previously served on the Board of Directors for the UConn Foundation.<<
