Displays for Memorials

This policy is intended to address three different types of displays. For assistance, please contact the Facilities Department at Facilities@framingham.edu.

Students, faculty, and staff may place memorial or remembrance items (e.g., ribbons, bows, signs) on campus grounds and/or in University buildings with permission from the Facilities Department. Each request will be considered individually. These tributes are installed and then removed (no later than two weeks) by the sponsoring party.

Clubs and groups may request a temporary installation of special flags or signs in recognition or tribute to historical events (such as Holocaust remembrance). Requests for permission to install such tributes should be made to the Facilities Department no later than three days prior to the planned installation. These tributes are installed and then removed (no later than two weeks) by the sponsoring club or group.

There are many memorial plaques, benches and sculptures on campus that have been installed in tribute to gifts from alumni, in honor of deceased members of the community, and in support of special events (such as trees in support of sustainable efforts). These memorial tributes are “permanent”; meaning they were crafted and installed to remain in place for the foreseeable future. If any individual, club, or department would like to install such a tribute, contact should be made with the Development Office to investigate purchase of the permanent tribute. The Development Office will consult with the Facilities Department on this request for a coordinated effort.
