Nationwide Children's Hospital Wayfinding + Experience Design

The challenge: develop clear wayfinding and create a positive sense of place for families to be one of the first comprehensive contributions to humanize the healthcare system in the country.

The outcome: colorful walls, oversized signage, and leaf motifs on the floor provide clear wayfinding and visual cues for patients and families. Environmental graphics – brightly colored silhouettes of native Ohio flora and fauna – bring the natural world into the hospital. An easily identified floor pattern runs through the hospital campus; its path colors and markers along the way help patients find their destinations.
