THE ART AND SCIENCE OF WAYFINDING SOLUTIONS - Boelter design group Wayfinding
Helping people easily find their destination in large facilities like hospitals, clinics and campuses through architecture, interior landmarks and signage.
We start by identifying which types of information about people and facilities will be needed for a particular project. We then engage systematic research methods to gather the data. Techniques generally used include client staff focus groups on terminology, audits of permanent and temporary signs, and behavioral observation of targeted high-traffic areas.
Strategies and priorities for a comprehensive and flexible wayfinding system are developed based on a thorough analysis of the data.
Boelter Design Group designs wayfinding systems to ADA standards and continues to provide guidance throughout the phases of implantation.
At the client’s discretion Boelter Design Group can work as a consultant with architects, engineers, contractors during the planning phases and provide consultation to fabricators for the implementation phase and/or provide finished installations.
The goal of any project is to create a more user-friendly environment for patients and visitors through improved wayfinding.
The most cost-effective and efficient wayfinding is planned and designed before the facility is built or renovated.
A wayfinding expert understands that the built environment can help or hinder visitors as they find their way into and through buildings. Good wayfinding takes into consideration both human elements and building elements.
On the human side, successful wayfinding employs an understanding of the subtle ways in which people interact with their surroundings.
On the building side, optimal wayfinding designs interior finishes and architectural cues so the building itself facilitates a positive and efficient visitor experience.
We understand that the built environment can help or hinder visitors as they find their way into and through your buildings.
