Wayfinding on an academic campus serves many audiences—students and applicants, their parents, alumni, faculty, staff and visitors to academic and athletic events. By defining campus boundaries, a well-designed wayfinding system helps to establish a sense of place while conveying the institution’s identity to the surrounding community. It delineates vehicular and pedestrian paths, helping to improve security by directing visitors along assigned pathways and pointing out safety features like shelters and phones. And, of course, it identifies academic destinations for students heading to class.

Over decades working with academic campuses including IUPUI/Indianapolis, Penn State University, Purdue University and the University of Virginia have given us world-class experience in meeting the needs of educational audiences, developing wayfinding systems, standards and master plans that express and enhance the character of the academic institutions themselves. We’re proud to note that 10 of our 25 educational clients are listed on U.S. News and World Report’s 2008 ranking of America’s Best Colleges.
