About The Project


The University of Rhode Island, esteemed member of the Atlantic 10 conference, sought to improve their competitive position within the conference. By investing a substantial $8 million from the university and generous donors, they revamped the URI Soloviev basketball practice facility into a modern, attractive space, enhancing its overall image.

The URI Soloviev Basketball Practice Facility offers twenty-four-hour access to training and cutting-edge technology for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. It serves as a top-notch destination for talented student-athletes aspiring to compete at the highest collegiate level.

    The Build


    Pinpoint worked closely with architect partner Populous and general contractor Tower Construction to turn the creative vision of the URI Soloviev Basketball Practice Facility into a reality. Our team expertly designed and produced graphics and branding elements such as back-lit channel letters, dimensional lettering, frosted logos on glass, edge-lit display case elements, corridor graphics, concessions signage, court side logos, wall-mounted banners, and more.

    Deliverables


    • North and South court-painted branding
    • East and West court wall-mounted banners
    • Internally illuminated interior signage and branding on corridors and ceiling
    • Edge-lit media, alumni, history, accomplishments, and donor signage
    • Jersey displays and edge-lit MVP jersey designs
    • Display risers, trophies & placeholders, and back wall graphics
