Wayfinding
Cleveland State University, OH

Project Overview

Cleveland State University (CSU) is a dynamic center of learning and research, offering 70 academic majors, 27 master’s programs, two post-master’s degrees, six doctoral degrees, and two law degrees. As part of its commitment to fostering a more resident-friendly campus and increasing on-campus student living, CSU recognized the need for improved wayfinding and signage.

Guide Studio partnered with CSU to modernize its exterior and interior sign system, ensuring a phased approach that allowed new signage to integrate seamlessly with existing elements. The refreshed system enhances navigation, strengthens brand alignment, and maintains flexibility for future expansion. By creating a more cohesive and user-friendly environment, the updated signage not only improves wayfinding for students, faculty, and visitors but also highlights CSU’s unique academic and community offerings.
