The way finding system for the Union Street Garage is based on an angle of changing color and degrees. Each garage floor is striped with an angle of a specific degree and color, creating a powerful parking mnemonic. The deeper a driver travels within the garage the shallower the angle becomes, indicating their proximity to the foundation level.
The project involved developing a wayfinding system for the entire Union St. building. As the primary identity device beyond the garage, the angle concept informed digital directories, elevator interiors, and all building signage.
