ACS School

FASTSIGNS implemented a multifaceted approach that achieved partnership, strategic planning and operational excellence.

The Challenge:

Over a decade-long collaboration, FASTSIGNS has fostered a strong partnership with ACS International Schools, which boasts three extensive campuses located in Cobham, Hillingdon, and Egham. With the school closed for six weeks during the summer break, ACS Schools wished to complete several signage-related tasks at each of their locations, to be installed ready for the start of the new school year.

The Solution:

The FASTSIGNS team implemented a multifaceted approach that achieved partnership, strategic planning and operational excellence.

To kickstart the project, FASTSIGNS attended numerous planning meetings with ACS’ senior management, where our insights and recommendations were pivotal in shaping the project's direction. Throughout this consultation phase, FASTSIGNS created a detailed project timeline to ensure all tasks were prioritised and completed in sequence, mitigating the risk of delays.

This project management style ensured that each campus received the attention it deserved.

At the Cobham site, all of the wayfinding signage across the expansive 128-acre site was updated to facilitate the move of the Lower School into the former head office building, alongside the ongoing refurbishment of the Middle and High Schools.

At the Egham site, large mounted profile cut graphics were installed to each side of the stage of the new Amphitheatre, creating a welcoming and decorative display. Decorative vinyl prints were applied to a sizeable exterior canopy, as well as installing graphics and manifestations for a new Science block.

At the Hillingdon campus, wall graphics, manifestations, and identification door signage were installed to help create an inspirational yet functional enhancement for the new Sports Hall.

The Result

The successful transformation of ACS International Schools’ campuses stands as a remarkable achievement for FASTSIGNS, fulfilling their ambitious vision with precision and creativity within their timeline and budget.
