When the City Arch River 2015 Foundation needed a backdrop for their groundbreaking ceremony in front of Arch we are proud to announce they turned to Swift Print for their backdrop on Friday 8/2/13. If you are not familiar with the planned transformation for revitalizing the St Louis Arch Grounds, check out http://www.cityarchriver.org/ for a glimpse of what is to come. It is truly a watershed moment of big visions coming together to improve the landscape and St Louis experience. At the bottom of this blog are before/after photos showing the current view along with the planned outcome after completion.
Here are the stats on the project:
Client: City Arch River 2015 Foundation
Designer: Fleishman Hillard
Project: Groundbreaking Ceremony on the Arch Grounds (Jefferson National Expansion Memorial)
Dignitaries attending: Sally Jewell – Secretary of the Interior, Anthony Foxx – Transportation Secretary, Claire McCaskill – MO U.S Senator, Francis Slay – Mayor of St. Louis, Kenneth Suelthaus – MoDOT, Walter Metcalfe – Chairman of City Arch River 2015 Foundation
Size: Overall – Sixteen feet wide by eight feet tall.
Frame: free-standing “stud wall” built in three separate monolithic parts.
Graphic: printed on new Mutoh as three separate panels
(5-foot, 6-foot, 5-foot) on 13 oz. banner vinyl with block-out backer.
Installation: On site. Each panel was gallery wrapped using Velcro around the individual stud wall frames to minimize the visibility of the wooden framework. Once wrapped, the panels could be put together as a complete wall or used individually as separate parts.
Backdrop was disassembled and is ready to use at next event.
