Liza Keller - Union Way Finding Propsal

I'm intrigued with way finding and the problems it seems to create in large facilities, such as malls, airports, etc. These facilities generally incorporate directories, maps, and signage into their way finding systems. In the UWM Union, the only symbols I have found are the restroom symbols, which are not constant. Not all restroom signs have the male and female symbol on them. Directories do not incorporate signs along with the text, and many of the directories are empty.

Some of my goals in this project:
- Establish a list of importance of the services and places in the union
- Define what should be on a directory, and how it should be ordered
- Determine where these directories should be located
- Establish a map that may be more useful than the current one
- Determine where these maps should be located

Here's some pics I've taken:
