HSU Projects in Progress

2006 Wayfinding Project

Accessible Signage & Campus Wayfinding

The 2006 Accessible Signage and Campus Wayfinding is actually two separate but related projects, funded by State General Obligation bonds. The $166,000 Campus ADA Wayfinding Project and the $400,000 Campus Signage Project were both funded as part of the Campus's 2005/2006 Minor Capital Outlay Program.

An audit of campus accomodations for individuals with disabilities identified a lack of available wayfinding as a significant barrier to campus access by individuals with disabilities. This project will address that shortcoming by a variety of information sources. The biggest component of the program is a series of kiosks across the campus that provide a map of accessible paths of travel to all the buildings on campus. Additional signage will be provided in selected buildings on campus that serve as an access route for the larger campus. And finally, the Student Disability Resource Center will be working with the Geography Department to develop a web based map tool to provide greater levels of detail and information for individuals with disabilities.

The Campus Signage Project will provide vehicular and pedestrian information signage across the campus to provide clearer and more consistent wayfinding for our students and visitors.

The Capital Outlay funds that are being used for these projects are allocated from voter-approved Capital Outlay Bond funds, and cannot be used for campus operations or instructional purposes.

As with all signage on campus, the design standards were established in 2005 by the Selbert Perkins Design Group as part of Humboldt State's comprehensive signage standards.
