Today’s Daily Journal of Commerce ran an article about our work at Everett Community College:

Seattle-based Studio SC said it has completed a campus wayfinding program for Everett Community College in Everett.

The navigation system also reinforces the college’s identity through strategic placement of signage and use of materials that reflect the modern industrial character of the campus’s newer buildings.

“Everett Community College was our latest project where environmental graphics have become a critical part of business owners’ brand and image campaign,” said Mark Sanders, Studio SC principal.

Mark’s reflections above are supported by reactions from Pat Sisneros, vice president of college services at Everett Community College. Sisneros says he’s already seeing the benefits of the wayfinding program after only a few months. “The signage is beautiful, simple, and highly visible,” Sisneros says. “It enhances the look of the college and really brings the campus together.” He has received a lot of feedback from people who say the signage program has made navigating campus easier. “The clarity of the signs and maps helps everyone—students, faculty, alumni, visitors—easily understand where they are in relation to where they want to go,” he says.

The impacts that Sisneros has noticed—cleanly integrated signage and improved navigation around campus—are just some of the benefits of a well-designed environmental graphics program that help create a positive image for an organization.  Plus, these changes are an economical way to help any organization, from schools to corporations to hospitals, connect with users and stand out against their competition.
