Wayfinding and Signs in the HiOA campus

Abstract

[EN] OsloMet is a large university which receives thousands of new students, norwegian and international, every year. Nonetheless, the wayfinding system of the campus is complex and not straightforward.The aim of this project was to create new wayfinding solutions for the OsloMet campus. This project was approached as a user centered case that focused on the OsloMet students. First, research was done. Conducted research consisted in interviews and scenario based user testing with university students, along with field research through the campus and building analysis. Based on research conclusions, concepts were created for the new wayfinding system. Then the concepts were prototyped and tested with the students. From the analysis it was concluded that the best solution was to make a unified system for the room numbering, to develop new signs, and also to create an app for a mobile device. The proposed wayfinding system, developed by the group, was designed to lead the students to their destinations without relying on external help, and to work on all the buildings of the campus despite their differences.The app was designed as a support to the wayfinding system and also to implement new features such as booking a room and find a person. The new wayfinding system was proved by the user testing to be more efficient and easy to use than the actual one. The app was considered by the students to be a useful feature for the wayfinding, even though it can be further developed and more features can be added. It is recommended that OsloMet bases future wayfinding projects in the results presented in this report. Poves Picazo, J.; Braux, M.; Hazenoot, A.; Martínez Otaduy, C. (2018).
