The DMC Heart Hospital — the first new hospital built in Detroit in a generation. Cardiac services previously were spread across DMC’s 16-block urban campus. The signage for the new facility was designed to connect people to new location and build awareness, according to an article on the Corbin Design website.
The design process emphasized the separation of wayfinding information from promotional communications wherever possible.
Signage supports intuitive architecture at the main entrance, and throughout the south side of the DMC campus. Simple, visible messages on vehicular guide signs give drivers the ability to make decisions quickly.
The heart hospital wayfinding plan was the first to be implemented on this campus, the article said.
