MIT campus plan

From the car to the classroom

Part of the Olin Partnership-led
team to develop a master plan
for MIT’s campus, this project
was carried through schematic
design and covers wayfinding
and campus resource identifica-
tion from arrival gateways and
street parking regulations through building identification and interior room identification. Most signs
are based on the form of the
square root symbol.

Wayfinding in 2002.
