The Brief
YSU needed signage and wayfinding refreshed across two of its highest-traffic academic buildings — Beeghly Hall and Williamson Hall. The work needed to honor the University's existing visual standards while modernizing donor recognition, room identification, and building-to-building cohesion.
The Challenge
Two buildings. Two academic colleges. Multiple stakeholders — facilities, donor relations, faculty, students. The signage had to satisfy all of them without slowing down the spaces it lived in.
- 01Survey
Multi-phase walkthroughs across both buildings to inventory existing signage and pain points.
- 02Design
Templated wayfinding system with donor-recognition variants.
- 03Installation
Phased install around the academic calendar.
Two buildings, one consistent visual language.
