Enhancing every educational and cultural space with large format print

Educational spaces come in many forms – from schools and alternative provision settings to universities and even museums. Large format print helps bring these environments to life, creating visual impacts, reinforcing identity, and inspiring those who visit or learn within them.

At Leach, we work with partners across the education and cultural sectors to deliver high-quality, large format print solutions that enhance spaces for learning, exploration and engagement.

Expressing identity through design

Every educational or cultural environment has its own story. Large format print allows institutions to communicate that story visually, whether it’s a university campus celebrating its heritage, a school focused on community values, or a museum, telling historical or scientific narratives.

Wall coverings, window graphics and wayfinding signage can feature values, achievements, or key messages, turning spaces into immersive engaging environments. Consistent branding across different areas reinforces identity and creates a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere for students, staff, visitors and patrons alike.

Inspiring engagement and creativity

A well designed space stimulates curiosity and learning. Large format print can transform ordinary areas into dynamic, interactive environments, from subject-themed imagery in classrooms to interpretive displays in museums.

Eco-friendly materials, innovative light boxes, and creative graphics ensure displays are visually engaging while reflecting modern sustainability goals. These elements help visitors and learners connect more deeply with the space and its purpose.

Transform everyday spaces, cost-effectively

Large format print allows spaces to be refreshed and repurposed without extensive renovations. Corridors, classrooms, reception areas, or exhibition halls can all become canvases for communication, branding, and storytelling.

Importantly, large format print also offers a cost-effective way to refresh spaces at scale. Durable, high-quality materials ensure long-lasting results, offering cost-effective solutions for institutions seeking maximum impact while staying mindful of budgets.
