University Wayfinding
Helping students, staff and visitors navigate large, multi-building campuses with confidence, while strengthening the university’s identity and creating a consistent experience from the first visit to graduation.
University environments are some of the most varied and busiest spaces we work in. With multiple faculties, different building ages, large outdoor areas, frequent visitors and constantly changing student populations, campuses demand a clear and cohesive wayfinding strategy.
