"Imagine" poster series

You may have seen our posters around campus highlighting some of our major projects and thought to yourself, "Hey, that would be perfect to cover the pizza stain on my dorm wall!"

Well, you're in luck.  We're now making our full-color "Imagine" series available for fun and for free.

Choose from the Recreation Center, Skinner Hall, the Integrated Sciences Building, the Studio Arts Building and the Central Heating Plant.  Impress your family and friends by collecting and displaying all five.  Each poster is 11" x 17" and available here for download in PDF format.

We can also supply up to five printed copies of each poster to UMass faculty and staff upon request.  If you would like more than five, alas, you will need to purchase them through University Print Services.  To receive printed copies, please contact us with your request.

"The Chancellor's Renderings" series

For the truly sophisticated, we also have artists' renderings available.  These are 24" x 36" works of art depicting some of our favorite projects.  We call these "The Chancellor's Renderings" because they were formatted to Chancellor Lombardi's specific requirements, featuring a broad UMass maroon border and "New Dirt" logo.  We are not able to provide printed copies of these except by special arrangement, but they are available here in high-resolution print-ready PDFs.  (Note: these are LARGE files, so your download time may be significant.)

Catch the spirit of the new UMass and enjoy!

"Up On The Roof" pics back by popular demand

Some time ago --early folliage season, '06 --we had the opportunity to go "up on the roof" around campus and take some pictures.  We posted them on our site for a while and then rotated them out as time marched on.  Since then, we've had quite a few requests to see them again, so, what the heck, here they are for a return engagement.  Click through the thumbs for BIG jpegs.
