VWU Greer Environmental Sciences Center
We designed Greer’s environmental graphics to connect students with the Chesapeake Bay and make the building and landscape part of the learning experience.
At Virginia Wesleyan University, the Greer Environmental Sciences Center brings environmental science into everyday campus life. We developed signage and exhibits that connect the building, landscape, and Chesapeake Bay watershed while supporting student learning.

Graphics throughout the building highlight sustainable features, explain the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and reinforce the themes of the four Earth spheres. Outside, interpretive signage draws attention to planting zones and the green roof, connecting students and visitors to the campus landscape and the ecology of the university’s floodplain setting.
Exhibits trace the Chesapeake Bay watershed from local conditions to its broader regional and national impact.
The four teaching labs use atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere themes to distinguish each space.
Interpretive graphics highlight sustainable building features, native planting zones, and the occupiable green roof.
