Campus Accessibility and Wayfinding

Rancho Santiago Community College District

PROJECT DETAILS

The Santa Ana Wayfinding and Campus Accessibility project aimed to redefine the image of Santa Ana College from a collection of 1950 – 1970 buildings to a cohesive upper education environment with a strong identity. The District sought to enhance campus branding, improve wayfinding, and create cohesive architectural elements that foster a stronger sense of community among students, faculty, and visitors. The scope of work encompassed the design and implementation of consistent campus graphics, monumental signage, and landscape enhancements to create inviting and interactive spaces. Additionally, modifications to existing architecture were made to incorporate unifying design elements and strengthen the campus's overall architectural theme. This comprehensive master plan aimed to guide current and future campus development, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing environment for all.
