Penn Medicine is one of the oldest hospitals with a rapidly expanding healthcare system that’s dedicated to advancing medical research and providing top-notch quality care. As a wide-ranging health care provider, Penn Medicine needed a wayfinding and signage system that could adapt to multiple locations, allowing visitors to easily move through several hospitals and hundreds of outpatient centers with clarity and ease.
Our strategy eliminated the notion of buildings and pavilions and focused on this series of second floor elevators that could unify the entire complex. We named it “The Connector” because it served as our wayfinding pathway for key navigational signage.
In addition to implementing our wayfinding strategy in downtown Philadelphia, at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and the Ruth Raymond Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine (PCAM), we developed a sign program that is currently being incorporated in several hospitals and hundreds of outpatient centers. The new program contributes unified, consistent signage across the Penn Medicine system to improve the overall medical experience through wayfinding.
