Bobcat | Project Spotlight
Elevating the Environment
Heritage partnered with Bobcat, a global equipment brand known for compact machines and attachments used across construction, landscaping, and grounds maintenance, inside UNC Charlotte’s PORTAL Building. PORTAL is an on-campus innovation hub that connects industry partners, research groups, and student teams. Working with Shultz + Associates Architects of Fargo, ND, we translated artwork into a professional installation that fits a bright academic workplace. The environment welcomes students, faculty, partners, and visitors while preserving the building’s light and flow.
Project Goals + Background
The brief called for brand moments that read from distance, balanced with privacy where needed and writable surfaces where work happens. In collaboration with Shultz + Associates Architects and campus stakeholders, the plan combined a statement wall, glass gradients that soften views without closing rooms, dependable dry-erase areas for team sessions, and a refined logo feature on stand-offs. Shultz guided alignment with architecture and circulation patterns so the graphics feel native to the space, and Heritage unified the parts through careful proofing and installation.

Process + Solutions Delivered
- Wall Wraps: A multi-tile mural with a controlled orange fade and integrated logo anchors the environment and sets the tone for arrivals.
- Frosted Vinyl: Dual-triangle gradient film in three sections provides privacy on glass, reduces glare, and keeps daylight in circulation.
- Office Signs: Two dry-erase wall surfaces add reliable, easy-to-clean writing zones where teams plan and iterate.
- Standoff-Mounted Signs: A standoff-mounted Bobcat logo delivers crisp edges, subtle shadows, and a durable focal point that reads well in person and in photos.
- Professional Installation: Heritage completed a site survey, coordinated campus access, and installed during business hours to meet building requirements and keep the project on schedule.

Final Outcome
Bold color fields, refined glass gradients, and practical collaboration zones come together as a cohesive brand experience for a busy innovation setting. Bobcat’s presence inside PORTAL underscores their connection to industry partnerships and workforce development, and the final environment supports daily work, visitor flow, and campus events with a finish that reflects Exceptional Service and a Standard of Excellence.
