Waikato University’s awesome Brand Logo created with Synthetic Turf for Rooftops

TigerTurf Synthetic Turf for Rooftops
Waikato University asked TigerTurf to fly the university colours high on the rooftop of the Data Centre. Our European design team created the brilliant, clear image that displays the university brand to passing air traffic, stilt walkers, and viewers from the library's upper story.

The Perfect Presentation of the University's Brand

The brief was to dress the roof of the Data Centre in dashing style to show off the university brand. The TigerTurf construction team had scaffolding erected for a safe elevated work site, removed the untidy existing turf, repaired the base, then installed TigerTurf Summer Envy, inset with the gloriously colourful logo to improve the view from on high – a vivid expression of the university’s pride in the achievements of its many successful graduates.

Pride in the hard working, dedicated staff and students at Waikato University

The colourful Waikato University logo on the Data Centre rooftop is an enduring, expressive celebration of the university’s record of achievement. TigerTurf’s Synthetic Turf for Rooftops enables the University to showcase its brand in a unique and enduring way while beautifying an awkward area.

Summer Envy 35 XWR

Artificial lawn in commercial and residential spaces is becoming increasingly popular. TigerTurf’s Summer Envy 35 XWR is a beautiful and authentic alternative to natural grass manufactured from TenCate’s XWR fibre for high durability. The medium blade and high-density thatch provide a soft and comfortable feel under foot with colours that accurately replicate real grass. It is ideal for playgrounds and early childhood centres, businesses requiring attractive landscape and workspaces, landscape designers looking for a unique solution for clients or councils needing natural landscapes but are restricted by access, maintenance and water supplies.

A quirky metaphor of the university’s encouragement of its students to think beyond the ordinary, this TigerTurf lawn rooftop project has also been a practical and beautiful upgrade in the appearance of the Data Centre.

TigerTurf Summer Envy 35 XWR – more than the usual lawn

TigerTurf Summer Envy 35 XWR has been designed to maintain its poise in difficult situations. No wonder it is one of our most durable, popular landscape turfs, manufactured with a particularly strong structure and increased resistance to UV light. The Summer Envy XWR turf blazoning the University brand from the rooftop of the Data Centre will be a star attraction for a good decade or more, becoming a well-loved feature of the university campus.
