Wayfinding

The science of wayfinding design is a comprehensive process designed to orient people, as well as guide them to their desired destination. The messages displayed on signs must minimize the natural confusion a visitor feels when arriving or navigating a facility.

Signage is a key component of wayfinding design. The signage and the wayfinding design must work together to create comfort. Further the message must be clear, legible, in the right place and accessible to all - regardless of language or physical ability.

Following the most up-to-date Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) or local accessibility requirements is critical to creating an effective and compliant wayfinding signage design. Our team of wayfinding consultants keeps up with changes and continually provide ADAAG-related training to keep all associates informed.
