One of southern California’s premier healthcare centers, Hoag Hospital recently added a seven-story Women’s Pavilion to its 750,000-square-foot facility, resulting in a new main lobby and changes in hospital entrances and parking. Hospital officials seized the opportunity to redefine how people navigate the facility and campus, and chose Corbin to develop the new wayfinding and signage system.

Key components of the new exterior signage system include building identifiers with letters more than seven feet tall that identify Hoag from miles away, more legible boundary and entrance identifiers that incorporate the Hoag logo, new vehicular guides and better identification for buildings, entrances and parking.

Inside the facility, an electronic kiosk in the new main lobby shows a map of the entire facility along with the elevator to use to reach major destinations. Custom signs identify high-traffic destinations including the health resource center, gift shop and café. Color-coded elevator directories coordinate with references on other signage.
