2006 - CMU CAFE - PITTSBURGH, PA

The Café is located on the Carnegie Mellon University campus in Pittsburgh, PA. We are pleased to have worked with Greg George of the Pittsburgh architectural firm Pfaffmann + Associates on the curved aluminum signage that compliments the existing rotunda. The sign and vertical curvilinear elements are all made from aluminum. The main sign incorporates push-through frosted acrylic lettering illuminated from the rear with white LEDs, whereas the Café text is typical channel-letter construction also illuminated with LEDs. The curvilinear elements are accented by red LED strips, instead of the more customary neon lighting. LED strip lighting is becoming quite popular for indoor border lighting and outdoor accents on buildings.
