Wayfinding Signage
Challenge
Glens Falls Hospital, located in New York, was in need of an updated wayfinding sign solution after undergoing renovations and new construction, and updating the hospital logo and brand. With many patients, doctors, nurses and visitors walking the hallways, it was necessary to clearly identify rooms, stairwells, and key areas of the hospital such as reception desks, waiting lounges, pharmacies and restrooms. They were in search of a solution that would feature easy-to-read and easily changeable directional signs throughout the facility. Signage also needed to be compatible with ADA lenses to ensure it was accessible to all visitors and patients.
