Helping navigate a space

HELPING NAVIGATE A SPACE

Wayfinding, as the name suggests, is the strategy that people use to navigate a space or orient themselves within a physical environment. It is a series of information systems that guide people and enhance their understanding and experience of the space. Wayfinding is critical in creating an effortless and stress-free path for pedestrians in the built environment such as healthcare and educational campuses, transportation facilities, and corporations.

Types of Wayfinding Signs

Identification

Identification

Identification signs are clear and simple indications that you have arrived at a location. They indicate the name or number of a room or the entrance of a department or office.

Directional

Directional

Directional signs are the key to preventing unnecessary confusion while visitors navigate your building. These types of wayfinding signs should be placed at any junction or hallway intersection where a person would seek instruction on how to get to their destination.

Regulatory

Regulatory

Regulatory signs are typically the most important signs of a wayfinding system. These signs should be clearly visible so that any rules, laws or safety warnings aren’t overlooked. Regulatory signs are the foundation for creating a safe environment; ensuring there is no confusion over what the rules are and that visitors aren’t subjected to danger.

Informational

Informational

Informational signs are exactly what their name indicates. These signs provide the visitor with details such as hours of operation, or if there is free wifi. Informational signs are less about moving toward a destination and more about presenting people with knowledge once they are there.

Development Process

In each project, there are unique elements to the design plan that require a custom approach. However, while each sign project has specific requirements, the typical People Signs approach to a facility-wide project includes the following.

  • Assign a project coordinator
  • Hold “Sign Task Force” meeting with all stakeholders
  • Conduct site review based on architect’s/ designer’s/owner’s plans
  • Determine or validate design solutions and sign locations
  • Capture relevant data in prepared report and sign map
  • Develop budget and timeline
  • Present samples
  • Manufacture upon receipt of approvals
  • Install signs on predetermined schedule
  • Train client’s internal staff on sign management, if necessary
  • Bring project to a close with complete reporting
