Constructed of brick and bronze, the Western Michigan University monument sign makes a bold statement to those who enter campus. Home to prestigious academics, NCAA Division I athletics and more than 24,500 graduate and undergraduate students, the monument reflects the university’s history, strength and innovation. The sign features a 4-foot diameter cast bronze Western Michigan University seal and reverse channel letters fabricated from stainless steel and coated with titanium nitride. The coating process bonds together the titanium and steel, creating a dense and durable finish to last for years.
