Wayfinding, History, and Donor Recognition

Introduction

Kansas State University’s College of Business Administration faced a challenge of bringing three seemingly disconnected elements — wayfinding, history and donor recognition — into their facility in a cohesive, effective, streamlined delivery.

We combined the three elements as individual pieces of the larger K-State story and blended digital wayfinding, history and donor elements into an overarching digital framework that complements static wayfinding and donor rec throughout the facility. Digital kiosks serve as a one-stop shop for wayfinding and deeply layered storytelling, including the timeline of KSU’s college of business and how today’s donors fit into that story. Quotes from donors on their named spaces and meeting rooms add humanity and personal connection to an often cold form of recognition.
