St. Ignatius High School, an all-boys college preparatory school in the heart of Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood, is home to over 1,500 students from more than 100 cities across Northeast Ohio. Rooted in a tradition of academic excellence and community service, the school instills its students with the Jesuit philosophy of being “Men for Others.”
For nearly a decade, Guide Studio has partnered with St. Ignatius to enhance its campus identity and wayfinding, ensuring a cohesive and welcoming environment for students, alumni, and visitors alike. From exterior building signage that defines key landmarks to branded interior environments that celebrate the school’s legacy, our work has contributed to a stronger sense of place and pride.
One of the school’s most impactful branding initiatives was the creation of Bentley Gallery, a dedicated space honoring alumni achievements and the rich history of St. Ignatius. Previously, awards and memorabilia were scattered across campus, hidden from view. Recognizing the importance of storytelling in fostering school spirit, Guide Studio worked closely with St. Ignatius to design an immersive experience where students can connect with the legacy of those who came before them.
Beyond the gallery, our work extends across more than 15 branded environment initiatives, including senior lounge enhancements and strategic wayfinding elements that guide visitors seamlessly through the expanding campus. Each project has been designed with intention—celebrating St. Ignatius’ storied past while supporting its dynamic future.
By transforming physical spaces into meaningful brand experiences, Guide Studio continues to help St. Ignatius strengthen its identity, reinforce its values, and cultivate a deeper sense of Wildcat pride for generations to come.
