by Graphic Impact – Where Innovation Meets Impressions
When it comes to large-scale graphics that make a bold statement, Graphic Impact leads the way. One of our most exciting projects to date is a stunning 7-foot by 100-foot mural for the University of Arizona Men’s Basketball program. Located inside the iconic McKale Center, this massive wall graphic has transformed a high-traffic area into a show-stopping tribute to Wildcat basketball.
Transforming Space with Large-Scale Wall Graphics
Whether you call it a wall mural, vinyl wrap, or full-wall covering, the effect is always the same—visually striking and emotionally powerful. These kinds of graphics do more than decorate a wall—they tell a story, build a brand, and enhance the environment. The McKale Center mural accomplishes all of that and more.
This particular installation stretches over 100 feet in length and 7 feet in height, commanding attention across from the new Courtside Lounge. It features bold, high-resolution images that honor the tradition and excellence of Arizona Basketball.
Why Wall Murals Work So Well
Large-format wall murals are an incredibly effective tool for creating atmosphere and reinforcing branding in athletic facilities, schools, retail spaces, and offices. Here are just a few benefits:
- Instant Impact: Murals grab attention immediately.
- Storytelling: They visually communicate your message, culture, or history.
- Customizable: Sizes, shapes, colors, and finishes can all be customized to fit your exact space and purpose.
- Durable & Replaceable: High-quality vinyl ensures long-lasting performance, and updates are easy to manage.
Printed and Installed by Graphic Impact—in Record Time
When the University of Arizona needed this project completed quickly, Graphic Impact stepped up. From initial concept to final installation, we handled every aspect in-house—design, printing, and installation. By managing everything under one roof, we were able to deliver exceptional quality at top speed.
Speed didn’t come at the cost of precision. Every section of the mural was printed with advanced color calibration and sharp resolution using our large-format printing technology. The material used was a durable, adhesive-backed vinyl that ensures a seamless, professional finish, even across such a large space.
Attention to Detail from Start to Finish
Installing a mural of this size isn’t a one-person job. Our experienced installation team carefully measured, aligned, and mounted each section to ensure continuity and perfection. Working within McKale Center’s operational hours required careful scheduling and flexibility. The result? A flawless installation completed on time—and on budget.
Perfect for Universities, Gyms, and Corporate Spaces
What we achieved at McKale Center is just one example of how wall murals can be used to elevate a space. If you manage a fitness center, sports arena, university, or even a corporate office, a vinyl wall covering can:
- Showcase your brand or team identity
- Motivate athletes or employees
- Highlight historical milestones or achievements
- Create an immersive visual environment
And remember, no project is too big or too small for Graphic Impact. We can design murals for any wall size, from small office feature walls to campus-wide signage systems.
