PARTNERS
With Tulane, we have an established record of faithfully executing university-designed projects and successfully being leveraged as a design resource.
By working directly with Tulane’s academic and administrative stakeholders to design solutions, approaching projects from a mission-driven perspective, OPA has translated hundreds of institutional goals into built, branded environments.
This has been a varied partnership, with our full-service sign company supporting renovations, campus branding initiatives, compliance upgrades, and large-scale athletic facility enhancements. From residence hall ADA signage, vending graphics, and comprehensive wayfinding systems to stadium-scale channel letters, custom murals, awnings, and sports complex signage, our work spans every corner of campus. Projects have ranged from temporary construction signage and detailed attribution plaques to installations covering entire city blocks, executed across a wide range of materials, fabrication methods, and architectural conditions.
From developing novel messaging strategies to designing immersive, on-brand spaces that energize students and faculty, OPA helps transform ideas into dynamic campus experiences that reflect Tulane’s evolving identity.
