Last year, we completed a massive overhaul of the signage and wayfinding system at Methodist Charlton Medical Center, a large facility serving southwest Dallas County and beyond.
The overhaul included renumbering the entire patient room and level identity systems, as well as renaming elevator banks, entrances and parking lots. The system centered around the strategy known as anchoring, wherein the elevator banks act as the central facilitator of user wayfinding.
In short, we developed an alpha letter for each public elevator bank. Each particular alpha identity was extended out to the entrance closest to that elevator as well as the nearest parking lot, if applicable.
Have a look at our Flickr slideshow to get a better idea for how the system works visually.
To commemorate the posting of new photos of our Design District project onto our flickr page, I’ve decided to write a bit about the project.
