Department signage

Calendar c1960 Map pin Bristol, United Kingdom

60 x 8.6 x 1 cm. Varnished hardwood (?iroko) board with painted white lettering “Geography Department”. The buildings on University Road now house the School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol (since October 1997). The name change recognised the scale and character of activity (especially the quantitative and laboratory-based nature of research and teaching).

We hope that the evolving collection of curated displays will cultivate deeper shared connections within and beyond our School – inviting us all to encounter, and re-encounter, the geographies we study through tangible, resonant forms.
