route me materialized from the University of Kansas's need to improve campus wayfinding.

​

Temporary solutions of improving building signage and maps were thought to solve campus wayfinding. However an updateable application is sought by students to be the most effective long-term solution.

​

Through User Experience Research, Prototyping and Testing, and Branding, route me emerged as an app. that will not only direct people to the building but offers step by step directions, a map of the building site, and panoramic images of the space to help them find their way to a specific space.

​Assignment:​

A Group of  graduate students from different disciplines  were asked to define and improve an aspect of the University of Kansas’s wayfinding by using user participation in both the research and design phases of the project.
 
Design Teams’ Focus:​

Originally the team sought out to improve campus wayfinding in terms of finding visitors parking on campus however the true problem with wayfinding emerged in finding a specific location within the buildings on campus. Therefore, the team shifted the projects focus from finding Visitors Parting to finding Room 340 in The Art and Design Building.
