Electra Sign is pleased to showcase one of it’s recent projects in conjunction with Manshield Construction for The Bonnie and John Buhler Centre in the heart of Winnipeg. With architecture this unique and eye catching, the design required signage that was just as pleasing to the eye. This signage was created with routed aluminum pin-mounted letters, complete with digitally printed graphics. This provides the Buhler Centre with subtle, yet attention grabbing capabilities at one of the busiest intersections in the city.

$3 million of the donation will allow UWinnipeg to consolidate its entire Faculty of Business and Economics inside the Buhler Centre at the corner of Portage Avenue and Colony Street, the former site of the United Army Surplus store. The Centre will include state-of-the-art classrooms, computer labs and meeting spaces. The additional $1 million will create the Buhler Knowledge Access Fund to provide ongoing business scholarships within the Faculty of Business and Economics to outstanding students and those in need, including single parents and those with lower incomes.
