the role of campus wayfinding for lsu
Wayfinding is an experience: that of an individual attempting to make their way through an unfamiliar environment. When the information needed to access that environment is provided in a thoughtful, structured fashion, the unfamiliar quickly becomes comfortable, friendly, welcoming. A successful wayfinding system manages this experience, using signage as a communication tool to not only facilitate access, but also to reflect the institutional culture and complement the architecture and environment of its setting.
wayfinding system objectives

program administrationThe Louisiana State University Campus Wayfinding Signage Guidelines establishes standards for design, programming, implementation and upkeep of all permanent exterior signs on the LSU main campus, as well as guidelines for appropriate use of temporary, event-based exterior signs. These standards must be adhered to in order to promote a consistent and easily navigable environment for members of the campus community and guests alike. Non-conforming or non-approved signs will be subject to immediate removal.
authorityImplementation and maintenance of the sign system is the responsibility of the Office of Facility Services. All proposals or requests for installation of exterior signs on campus, including regulatory and safety related signs, should be addressed to the Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning, and are subject to its approval.
implementationUpdates, replacement, or new sign orders on a small scale will be coordinated by the Office of Facility Development or implemented by the sign shop from stock-on-hand. Requests which qualify will be released by the Office of Facility Development directly to the sign shop for implementation. Larger sign orders may be issued as contract documents for bidding by commercial sign fabricators. This process requires collaboration with the Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning to prepare a full bid package, which will reference the Louisiana State University Campus Wayfinding Signage Guidelines and set explicit requirements for shop drawings, sample submittal, and performance specifications.
manual useThe Louisiana State University Campus Wayfinding Signage Guidelines manual is available for all to review from the Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning website. It is intended for use by administrators, consultants, planners and the University facilities and planning staff. When special conditions arise which are not addressed in this manual, consult with the Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning.
manual componentsThe Sign Designs section of the manual explains the design of each sign in the program, along with guidelines for its application and implementation. As such it should be consulted for information regarding the appropriate use for a given sign, standards for sign messages, and location and orientation in the campus environment. Consistent application of these guidelines over time will ensure a coherent, uncluttered and easily navigable sign system. The Details and Specifications section provides dimensions and details for each sign type, and can form the foundation for project bid documents.
revis ions and updatesAs phased implementation of signs occur, facility planners should request construction of prototypes in order to confirm design details and standardize fabrication methods. Design refinements as a result of prototype review should be incorporated into future revisions of this document.
introduction
LSU has acknowledged the substantial impact signs have on the campus landscape as well as on the ability of visitors to successfully navigate the university environment.
Disorganized and inconsistent signs can actually detract from a campus environment, leading to the complaint of sign clutter on campus while risking confusion of campus visitors. In the absence of a formally documented sign program, inconsistency of execution over time can cause campus signs to evolve to this state despite the best efforts of those who maintain them.
The program summarized in this document formalizes a family of signs that will enhance the campus environment and improve wayfinding. The manual also serves as a definitive sign policy for Louisiana State University. The sign designs are a response to the character of the main campus, providing an effective, yet low-key presence in the landscape while reinforcing LSUs graphic and color identity. The designs also provide a means to consistently apply this identity to satellite campus locations. Components of the program are designed to enable flexible application to a variety of installation conditions, and are responsive to the capabilities of the LSU sign shop for maintenance and updating over time.
wayfinding design processThe Guidelines were developed in collaborative fashion, with input from the Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning, a wide spectrum of campus stakeholders and the campus community along with the consultant.
wayfinding management teamThe primary University decision-making authority for development of the signage guidelines was the Wayfinding Management Team, whose responsibilities were direction-giving and providing reports and recommendations to the Chancellors. The Wayfinding Management Team consisted of the following departments and representatives: Facility Development and Campus Planning - Jason Soileau Finance and Administrative Services - Eric Monday Facility Development and Campus Planning - Emmett David Academic Affairs - Chuck Wilson Office of Communications and University Relations- Holly Cullen, Jewel Hampton Facility Development and Design Committee - Van Cox Student Government - Corey Weber 08, Jordan Milazzo 09
stakeholdersThe Wayfinding Management Team sought early input and regular feedback from a larger Working Group. The Working Group provided a broad representation of the campus community, and by being involved early and frequently in the design process, helped gain support for adoption of the sign guidelines. The Working Group consisted of representatives from the following campus stakeholders:Parking, Athletics, UREC, Residential Life, Student Union, Dining, Bookstore, Law School, Ag Center, Student Health andUniversity Auxiliary Services, as well as student participation through Student Government.
The guidelines are intended to comply with applicable MUTCD, ADA, and LADOT codes

Wayfinding Feedback Report
September 17, 2009
Project Background:
Sasaki Associates has been working
with the University to produce a sys
tematic campus wayfinding master p
lan to
guide the location of new directiona
l and informational signs at LSU as
well as to provide aesthetic guidanc
e for
production of such signage. Jason S
oileau, Assistant Director Facility De
velopment, will serve as primary
spokesperson.
An executive management team an
d working group have been collabor
ating with Sasaki Associates consu
ltants
since the inception of this project. I
t has been an open, participative pro
cess with student, staff and faculty
representation.
Temporary signs were installed usi
ng temporary materials for the purp
ose of evaluating design, color choi
ce, scale,
font, and overall style. These tempo
rary mock-ups were installed to dete
rmine appropriateness of appearan
ce, clarity
and overall context, and therefore ha
d not been edited for content accur
acy. Additional corrugated yard sign
s were
placed next to the temporary signs i
ndicating that the signs were not int
ended for navigation but for concep
t testing.
A total of thirteen signs were placed
throughout campus for a period of
one month at the start of the Fall 20
09
academic semester. These signs w
ere categorized by the developmen
t team in one of three areas: large-s
cale
vehicular, small-scale vehicular, an
d pedestrian.
Feedback Goals:
To enable LSU audience groups and
stakeholders to provide feedback a
bout the new wayfinding signs and
kiosks
with regard to the following:
x Appearance: Does the overall appe
arance (form and shape) of the sign
mock-up feel appropriate for the
campus and immediate surrounding
s? Do the colors feel appropriate fo
r the campus and immediate
surroundings? Does the typography
?
x Clarity: Is the text legible? Is the in
formation clearly organized?
x Context: Is the sign mock-up the ri
ght size for the selected location? D
oes the location seem appropriate?
Methodology:
In order to receive input related to th
e temporary signage in place Augus
t 10 September 11, 2009, the LSU
Office
of Communications and University R
elations instituted a 10-question fee
dback poll through Broadcast email
targeting
current LSU students, faculty, and s
taff.
One email blast was sent to a popul
ation of approximately 28,000 studen
ts, 1,300 faculty, and 3,800 staff.

design principles1
The physical context of LSUs campus is a direct expression of the Universitys history, living traditions, and spirit. The campus is welcoming, authentic, unique, and above all, valued by all; any addition to this environment must be carefully considered. Before any designs were produced, several key attributes were examined to create a foundation of authenticity:
Themes and Design Inspiration
Wayfinding Strategy
Wayfinding Plan
Destination Hierarchy
Sign Location Plans

LSU Spirit
lsu sp ir it and the lsu campus
Concurrent with the design of the functional wayfinding program, the wayfinding team immersed themselves in the LSU physical and cultural context with the goal of distilling themes, ideals and design inspiration that should inform the design approach to the wayfinding system. In many cases, this was a process of clarifying the emotional effect of the campus and giving it form. Some of the broad themes that were embraced and incorporated into the signage include:
Unusually heartfelt sense of pride, tradition and enthusiasm Academics and athletics are connected and their qualities contribute to the LSU experienceLSU purple and gold is omnipresentHistoric quad is welcoming and intimateSoft tones of stucco, bronze and tile roofsThe historic buildings feel classic and clean, eternalRich and simple details; not overly ornamentalStrong lines, pure geometry, blend of modern and classicA blend of styles that seem to all work together

Numerous organizational ideas were explored, based on creation of campus districts, or schemes based on landmark destinations, historic areas, secure and non-secure areas. In the final analysis, the preferred scheme reflects a true mental map of the way the campus is experienced: via driving the three north-south corridors (Nicholson, Highland, and Lakeshore) and negotiating the pedestrian campus core and its gated access. The wayfinding scheme is organized around the following:
Three main corridorsCentral campus and visitor centerMajor destinations, serving as anchors
The majority of campus destinations reachable by car are accessed off these corridors. The corridors are also a natural and logical basis for direction-giving. This scheme features longevity and flexibility as the campus evolves and expands around this basic framework.

The components of the sign system were designed individually for optimal functionality while complementing each other in form and finish to create a unified sign family. Signs fall within the following functional categories:
campus identity
Signs and structures distinguishing campus edges or entry portals.
vehicular wayfinding and parking
Signs serving to direct vehicular traffic to campus as well as within, culminating in a clear system of regulatory parking signs.
facil ity identification
Signs identifying the name and address of a building or facility, including building-mounted and freestanding configurations.
pedestrian wayfinding
Signs and maps intended to orient and direct individuals on foot throughout the campus.
alternative transportation
Signs serving the needs of shuttle bus riders or the campus trail network.
event signs
Short-term sign standards.

Percentage of visitors entering campus
design rationaleThe historic gateways to the LSU campus are distinctive icons, linked to the traditional campus core in design and materials, evoking a gracious, understated sense of entry.The bracketed pairs at either end of Highland Road are appropriately scaled for the two-lane road. The gateway pair at the north campus entry on Nicholson Drive have been diminished by subsequent roadway widening. The gateways are in the process of being repaired, having suffered deterioration over many years. The recommendations are to add LSU identity and directed uplighting in a restrained manner to highlight these one-of-a-kind portals to campus.
message criteriaOnly the Louisiana State University wordmark text is to be used.
placement & orientationThe gateways will remain in their current locations, with possible expansion of base walls to better engage the sidewalks and additional landscape plantings and ground plane improvement. No effort shall made to replicate or reproduce these anywhere else on campus.

Proposed Gateway: for South Stadium Drive and Dalrymple entries Side view

Scale and proportion matches roadway
Preserves views into campus
design rationaleOver time, entries into the campus have expanded to other portals. Most people arrive to the campus and never pass through the traditional entries of Highland Road. Visitors arrive from the interstate along Dalrymple, from the south along Nicholson Drive, and along West Lakeshore Drive - and none of those entries currently feature LSU identity. The Dalrymple and West Lakeshore entries possess a scale and feel similar to Highland Road, and require appropriately-scaled entry features. The CG-2 gateways are designed to express the spirit and quality of the historic gateways, without copying them, and respond to different approaches and settings. Cast stone, decorative metal and use of the LSU text recall the spirit of the historic campus quad. Soft uplighting will improve nighttime legibility. The gateways are low and open, allowing views over and under into the campus beyond.
message criteriaOnly the Louisiana State University wordmark text is to be used. Optional donor plaques can be integrated into the piers, providing recognition for groups who choose to assist with the funding and construction.
placement & orientationThe gateways will be designed in conjunction with landscape and roadway improvements at each of the intersections. The complete solution will be a coordinated design of signs, siting, vegetation, lighting and ground plane treatments.

Concept Plan
The design challenge is to present an image in keeping with the best of the campus core, at a highway scale, incorporating the motion graphics screen. The proposed design blends these elements into a gracefully curving sign that defines the corner and links to the video screen without being dominated by it. Message context and design for electronic message unit will be developed and administered by the LSU Office of Communications and University Relations.
Future campus plans call for campus development between Nicholson Drive Extension and Burbank Drive. The new Alex Box Stadium and increasing development in south Baton Rouge will make this corner even more prominent in the future. A new electronic message unit will provide appropriately scaled graphics and event information along Nicholson Drive.
design rationaleThe intersection of Burbank Drive and Nicholson Drive represents the boundary of the main campus. Currently, no formal identifier exists at this location, which happens to be the busiest southern entry to the campus, along the busiest corridor of north-south traffic to and from downtown Baton Rouge and outlying parishes.

athletic activity. More than a gateway, this environmental graphic embodies the spirit of LSU. Access will be provided by a connective pathway from surface parking - providing a venue for memorable photo opportunities. The immediate zone around the logo will be planted with plant species that discourage direct contact or vandalism.
The largest number of event attendees arrive from the south, and the largest amount of game-day parking is concentrated to the south. While Tiger Stadium dominates the skyline, there is no street-level affirmation of the LSU campus.
The monumental scaled logo creates a memorable street level icon, heightening the excitement of the gameday experience, and distinguishing this area of campus as the nexus of
design rationaleThe intersection of South Stadium Road and Nicholson Drive is both a functional and symbolic entry into the athletic epicenter of the main campus. This is the portal to Tiger Stadium and the PMAC, not to mention the LSU Sports Shop and the Tiger Habitat. The traditional pre-game parade courses down North Stadium Road to the stadium.

design rationaleVehicular trailblazers are intended to reinforce the path of travel for vehicles to the LSU campus along wide, higher speed roadways. Signs are one-sided painted aluminum panel, strap-mounted to an existing pole, or mounted to a single, dedicated, LaDOT-approved sign post.
message criteriaTrailblazer sign messages shall consist only of the LSU Geaux font logo and the standard directional arrow
placement & orientationTrailblazers should be located every mile or so, and in advance of major intersections to reinforce the appropriate direction of travel. When meant to indicate a turn, a trailblazer with turned arrow should occur twiceonce in advance of the turn and again as close as possible to the turn itself. Locations will require coordination with City of Baton Rouge and LaDOT for city and state right of ways, respectively.

design rationaleThe campus vehicular directional is designed for lower speed, on-campus roadways. Signs are post mounted, intended to be visible above parked cars, and to not present a visual barrier into the campus at eye level. The single-sided, fabricated metal signs utilize reflective copy and feature removable sign faces for ease of maintenance and updating.
message criteriaSign messages are limited to Tier 1 and Tier 2 destinations.
placement & orientationSigns should be placed approximately 50 feet in advance of the required turn, set back a minimum of 2 feet from the roadway edge. Final placement should be adjusted to avoid tree canopies, sidewalks, and other landscape features. When lower height option is used, landscape or planting bed must be utilized.

design rationaleThis sign is designed to provide entry identification for large parking structures. The layout illustrated is intended for use at the planned facility on Highland and Raphael Semmes Road. The prominent P symbol in a blue square indicates the availability of visitor parking. The large scale and vertical projecting orientation provides visibility for vehicles approaching laterally. The final dimensions and placement of these signs will be coordinated with the design of the individual parking structure.
message criteriaSign messaging is limited to the facility name, parking symbol, and lot number. Where required additional information, such as usage restrictions or hours may be displayed on a companion ground-mounted sign such as Type PK2. This sign will be double-sided, with messages on both sides. Messages will be determined by LSU Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning, and the LSU Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation.
placement & orientationThe sign is designed for facilities set back from campus roadways, necessitating a projecting mount on the structure facade, intended to be visible for vehicles approaching from left or right. Final placement will be determined based upon the approved garage design.

Street names are a key component of overall wayfinding strategy
Responds to future building addressing and emergency response requirements design rationaleLSU street signs will stand out from the standard sign designs, with their unique color scheme and type style. Through their repetitive use, custom street signs are an effective way to define a campus district and reinforce the LSU identity. Three sizes of street signs have been developed that respond to various roadway scales and speeds. The largest, shown here, is specifically designed for Nicholson Drive. This sign may be used along other large perimeter roadways as the campus expands.
message criteriaMessages will comply with City of Baton Rouge and LADOT official street name nomenclature.
placement & orientationSigns are typically located on traffic control crossarms, parallel to the identified cross street, facing traffic, visible from stop lines. Application, approval and locations shall be coordinated with City of Baton Rouge and LADOT.

Sign face detailContext elevation
design rationaleSecondary facility identification, scaled to be legible and appropriate for pedestrian zones. Sign is intended to be used in lieu of Type FA2 when a ground mounted sign is not feasible or deemed inappropriate. Sign is non-illuminated, with messages occurring on one face. Buildings with multiple entrances, and entrances with strictly pedestrian approaches, may use this sign in combination with FA2 or FA1 signs.
message criteriaIdentification will be restricted to the official building name,building construction date, street address, and LSU logo. A single department or school generating high levels of visitor traffic may be included, based on written approval from the LSU Office of Finance and Administrative Services (FAS). LSU Law and Ag Center are permitted to use their affiliate logo in a single color (gray) in place of the LSU logo. Use of the affiliate logos shall be restricted to buildings that are either 100% or mostly occupied by the respective affiliate. A site plan diagramming LSU Law and Ag Center campus facilities can be found in the Appendix. All FA3 signs shall be reviewed and approved by the LSU Offices of Facility Development and Campus Planning.
placement & orientationSigns shall be oriented to face pedestrian approaches.

Comprehensive campus map and directory
Low profile design, complementary to campus contextdesign rationaleThis smaller kiosk focuses on the overall campus map and directory, and is primarily intended to be used at all campus parking areas. It may also be used throughout the campus to supplement the primary, four-sided kiosks.
message contentPrimary content is the large scale campus map with comprehensive index of destinations. As conditions permit, the kiosk may be double sided, with the second face displaying an area map, constrained to a five-minute walk radius, providing localized detail. All proposed content must be reviewed and approved by the LSU Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning and the LSU Office of Communications and University Relations.
placement & orientation Strategically located in visitor parking area exits. Large parking areas may feature multiple kiosks. Typically located next to pathways, in planting or lawn areas. Depending on conditions, the sign may parallel paths, or be perpendicular, for two-sided configurations.

Brings to life the history and culture of the LSU campus
Reduces sign clutter, consolidates existing variety of sign plaques
Visually tied into the overall wayfinding system
Detailsign face graphics
design rationaleThe LSU campus contains many areas and sites with cultural and historic significance. Bringing these to light reinforces the sense of place, and illuminates the origins of local traditions. The interpretive sign program consolidates the variety of existing, ad hoc historical plaques and markers into a system of engaging interpretive panels. The system shares components and formats with the overall wayfinding system, yet introduces more variety in color, graphics and imagery.
message contentThe designs illustrated in this manual intend to guide overall style, materials, and fabrication techniques . Panel content and imagery will be determined by LSU. Signs may be single or double sided depending on orientation and content needs. Final review and approval of panel designs and locations is by the LSU Office of Facility Development and Campus Planning and the LSU Office of Communications and University Relations.
placement & orientationSigns are intended to be located near interpretive sites (Indian Mounds, Greek Theatre, etc.) and carefully placed so as to not compromise the site itself. Ideally signs should be located off pedestrian paths, in planting beds, to minimize site disturbance and exposed footings.
