Established as Harrisburg Area Community College, HACC has more than 18,000 students studying in credit classes at its five campuses. Corbin Design was chosen to design and develop custom vehicular and pedestrian wayfinding and identification signage for the college’s 212-acre main campus in Harrisburg.

The exterior sign type design array reflects HACC’s dual identity as a community college and arboretum. Unique design elements include a sculptural climbing vine on the gateway and building identifiers.

The massive gateway identifier that greets people driving onto the campus establishes the look and feel of the rest of the sign types with decorative finials and a mesh framework on the sign span. The framework carries the college seal and vehicular messaging. The sign’s masonry bases recall the brick bases of existing entrance identifiers.

Photorenderings of the sign types (shown above) helped demonstrate how the signs would appear in the environment.
