CAMPUS HEALTH CENTRE WAYFINDING

The Problem: The Campus Health Centre at Durham College was having a problem with wayfinding. Often patients would get lost, and not know where to go. The Health Centre asked for a visual solution to help with wayfinding.

The Solution: The Health Centre asked me to design a way to guide patients to the correct office in a creative way, so I created a colour-coded poster that corresponds to the wall colours. The patient looks up the name of the room on the poster, and follows the specific colour down the hallway. I also incorporated a slogan called "On your way to find your way" to encourage the wayfinding system. By having visual cues with bright colours, it allows patients to easily navigate the Health Centre.
