Universities serve a wide range of people, from students and faculty to visitors and high school tours, so university railings need to be able to stand up to constant use and meet both the functional needs of students, staff, and visitors alike while also enhancing the university’s aesthetic.
Now, more than ever, the design of a university reflects its values, achievements, and aspirations and the right railing solution can help it do just that.
