<\/a><\/p>\nVisitors making their way to campus from North Nevada Avenue now know they are entering campus property.<\/p>\n
Facilities Services staff members, working alongside a contractor, recently completed a new campus entry sign near the intersection of North Nevada and North Nevada. The intersection name was selected by the City of Colorado Springs to mark the extension of Vincent Road.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new UCCS sign lets visitors know they are in Mountain Lion territory,\u201d Brian Burnett, vice chancellor, Administration and Finance said.<\/p>\n
Technically, the sign sits in City of Colorado Springs right of way, a detail that Burnett says is indicative of municipal support of the university.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s there with the city\u2019s permission,\u201d Burnett said. \u201dThe city is, once again, supporting UCCS development and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sign mimics the design of other campus entrance signs with a notable exception. The \u201cat\u201d is missing in the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. The omission follows the university\u2019s two-year-old branding standards. There are no plans to remove the preposition from other campus signs.<\/p>\n
The new UCCS sign is just one improvement to North Nevada. UCCS and the developers of University Village Shopping Center recently combined resources to plant new trees and lay sod in a median on North Nevada that fronts the shopping center and the university\u2019s new front door.<\/p>\n
