When I worked at the Instructional Media Center in the CSU Chico Library, people would wander into our studio daily asking for other departments and people that didn't work there. We quickly realized that a new signage system was in order to direct those who weren’t familiar with our floor of the library.

The departmental door signs were designed as the base unit of the system. Their geometrically skewed shape breaks free of the otherwise sedate hallways, while their colors brings a bit of warmth to the fluorescent-lit space. The containing shape for the room number also acts as a pointing device.

An integrated system of placards for individual offices and meeting spaces was designed to complete the system, in addition to wayfinding graphics at each hallway junction. This was one of the earliest implementations of the University's new official typeface: FF Meta.
