Case Study

Seidman Cancer Center Wayfinding Project

Richards led a wayfinding project at Avon's Seidman Cancer Center, a new two-floor facility. We designed and installed exterior and interior signage, focusing on easy navigation and flexible design, showcasing their innovative approach.
Seidman Cancer Center Wayfinding Project
The Challenges
  1. Navigational clarity in a brand-new, Greenfield construction site.
  2. Integration of signage in a sensitive environment like a Cancer Center, with specific needs for patient and staff orientation.
  3. Implementation of a new, slide-in-and-out sign system on rails, differing from the previously used magnetic systems.

The Approach
  1. Designing and installing exterior monument signs and wayfinding systems for easy access to the main entrance and parking areas.
  2. Creating channel letters for building identification to clearly indicate the building's purpose.
  3. Developing interior signage and wayfinding systems that are patient-friendly and easy to navigate.
  4. Specifically addressing the needs of the infusion bays within the Cancer Center, ensuring each bay was clearly numbered for efficient identification by staff, patients, and visitors.
  5. Working closely with the art curator to develop signage systems that are aesthetically pleasing and compatible with the Center's environment.

The Results
  1. Enhanced navigation for a newly built healthcare facility, improving the overall patient and visitor experience.
  2. Successful implementation of a new flexible sign system on rails, facilitating easy updates and changes.
  3. Improved clarity and efficiency in the identification of specific areas within the Cancer Center, particularly the infusion bays.
  4. The creation of a wayfinding system that not only serves its functional purpose but also harmonizes with the Center's aesthetic and environmental sensitivities.

This project at the Seidman Cancer Center in Avon stands as a testament to Richards' ability to innovate and adapt wayfinding solutions to meet the specific needs of healthcare facilities, particularly in sensitive and complex environments.
