Freestanding alumni recognition solution for Centralia College Hall of Fame installed in campus lobby.

Hall of Fame Recognition Display for Centralia College

Centralia College needed a Hall of Fame recognition display in a prominent campus location – but the selected wood-paneled wall couldn’t be altered. Traditional mounting wasn’t an option, and relocating the display would have reduced visibility and impact.
PIR developed a fully freestanding recognition solution that preserved the space while delivering a clear, permanent installation. A structured grid layout ensures consistent presentation for each inductee, while built-in capacity allows the display to grow without redesign.
