Exterior Banner Installation

Review for Student Organization Banners

All student organization banners hung across Doherty Hall must be approved by the Office of Student Involvement and Traditions before continuing the steps below – learn more about student organization marketing.

Design Review Committee Approval

All exterior banners to be hung on campus buildings or facilities for more than 30 days must be approved by CMU's Design Review Committee, which monitors changes to the physical state of campus. (Banners up for 30 days or less do not need Committee approval and may proceed to banner installation, detailed below.) 

For Committee approval, email the following to Bob Reppe (breppe@andrew.cmu.edu) and Utkarsh Ghildyal (ughildya@andrew.cmu.edu):

• Graphic of the banner
• Banner size
• Desired building location
• How long the banner will be posted (banners should be removed within 48 hours after the advertised event concludes)

Confirmation of Design Review Committee approval will be emailed back to you within three business days.

Banner Installation Request

Once your banner is approved by all required parties (including the Design Review Committee for items hanging more than 30 days), you must request banner installation by Facilities Management Services (FMS) to ensure that no damage is caused to the exterior of campus facilities. To request installation:

• Forward the email(s) of any required approvals (Office of Student Involvement and Tradition for student organizations, and Design Review Committee for items hanging more than 30 days) to fixit@andrew.cmu.edu
• Submit a service request for FMS to hang the banner, indicating the dates of installation and removal
