SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY - SIGNS, SIGNS

Swinburne University of Technology is an Australian public dual sector university based in Melbourne, Victoria. The institution was founded by the Honourable George Swinburne in 1908 and achieved university status in June 1992. In 2009 there were 16,030 students enrolled in Higher education and an estimated 14,748 students enrolled in TAFE, including nearly 7000 international students from over 100 different countries. Swinburne has five campuses in Melbourne at Croydon, Hawthorn, Lilydale, Prahran, Wantirna – and one in Sarawak, Malaysia. As one of only five dual sector institutions in Australia, Swinburne offers both TAFE and higher education qualifications. This photograph is taken at the University's Hawthorn Campus.

    I like how the red in the building picks up the red in the sign. Nice catch.

    The red and black is very bright and contemporary looking. Eye catching!
    And the sign complements the building nicely.
    Thank you for joining in on signs, signs.

    I just googled Swinburne and their Apprentice restaurant menu looks rather interesting for this month! This does seem to be a very forward looking university.

    Love the mix of red in the sign and then the red on the building. Makes for a real eye catcher. genie
