Signage & Wayfinding System Design
The overall experience someone has in a space is influenced by various aspects such as form, function, lighting, scale, and finishes – but flow is what truly dictates what the users will see and feel. How they will get from “Point A” to “Point B,” how long it will take them to get there and back, and what interactions they may encounter along the way, become the aspect they remember.
Navigation of a facility has a direct impact on one’s overall experience in a space. Recognizing this, CRGA ensures that wayfinding strategies are implemented with the intricacy and planning that is necessary to promote an efficient, productive, and supportive environment for the end users. Thus, empowering users to have the confidence to navigate facilities, find specific destinations, and return to their original entry points to exit facilities without difficulty.
Comprehensive wayfinding signage systems are crucial factors in preventing additional frustration often brought forth by getting lost or feeling overwhelmed within spaces. These systems should be designed for flexibility and consistency. Color scheme, wall and ceiling signage, floor graphics, printed maps or direction indicators, and exterior signage visible from street-level at major entrances, all contribute to operational efficiency as well as vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
In the healthcare industry, the overall experience patients and visitors have includes countless components beyond just the direct care received from medical professionals. Most patients and visitors are experiencing some of their most trying times in these spaces, so it is vital that as much stress and confusion as possible be eliminated from these already difficult experiences. The development of an effective wayfinding system should be clear but concise, so that in times of pain, panic, or stress, one can still find the appropriate destination in a timely manner.
