LBNL Wayfinding Project

The Campus Planning department within the Infrastructure Planning Office under Operations provides Site and Environmental Planning, Real Property & Infrastructure Planning, and Space Planning. Campus Planning has embarked on a multi-year comprehensive wayfinding plan to improve navigation for Lab staff, visitors, vendors, and emergency response team members. This plan includes:

• Creating a wayfinding methodology dividing the hill site into six geographic areas, called "Zones", based on the existing Emergency Response zones 

• Assigning a number and color to each zone, which will be applied to all Lab maps and directories, and reinforced by wayfinding and building identification signage 

• Creating new building identification signage that reflects zones and also key building details such as SAFE buildings

• Updating the Lab’s building number system to increase available numbers for future buildings and make the hill site more logical for navigation

• The design of coordinated pedestrian signs, parking signs, and shuttle bus signs is also underway.
