University Communications and Marketing and Printing partner to open walk-in services center on campus

Faculty, staff and students will have access to on-demand design and printing services beginning Monday, January 13, at the new University Marketing Services Center (MSC) in Grosvenor Hall. The services center provides walk-in access to services provided through University Communications and Marketing and Ohio University Printing Services, as well as standard branded office materials such as note pads and folders available for purchase.

The MSC, which includes on-site production equipment for quick-turn printing, can design and print projects for the University community – often while you wait – including fliers, posters, business cards and more. In addition, the center will serve as a pick-up and walk-in order location for Printing Services, which offers a full suite of commercial-level production services including apparel printing and embroidery, large format banners and signage, and production for all types of marketing materials. The MSC will be open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m.

“We’re excited to bring services like this to central campus,” Gabrielle Blackwood Johnston, director of Marketing Services, said. “Anyone will be able to walk in and get one-on-one help with their projects – no matter if they’re a student who needs a dodgeball club flyer; a faculty member who needs materials for a conference; or a community member who is interested in creating t-shirts. The sky’s the limit!”

The MSC will also provide in-person help with project intake for more strategic or longer-term projects on behalf of UCM and Printing Services. Faculty and staff may also continue to access UCM services through the online request form or utilize Printing Services online storefront.

“The Marketing Services Center is intended to provide a solution for members of our University community who need help with basic printed marketing materials to support the many events and activities that happen on our campus each year,” said Robin Oliver, vice president of University Communications and Marketing. “We also hope it will make it easier for anyone on campus to access standard branded print materials quickly.”
