New DMC Heart Hospital reboots signage

Signage is designed to connect people to new location and build awareness


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.

The heart hospital wayfinding plan was the first to be implemented on this campus, the article said.
