Mitchell Hall
Queen’s University, Kingston
Promoting wellness and innovation, Mitchell Hall is a multi-purpose facility that serves as a central gathering place for students, faculty, and staff at Queen’s University, offering a comprehensive range of programs, resources and amenities to support their academic, athletic, and social endeavours.
For this inspired educational facility, KDA created a dynamic wayfinding program to act as a unifying thread of continuity across the five student service divisions including engineering facilities, collaboration and experiential learning spaces, and state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research laboratories.
KDA’s wayfinding program boldly integrates these disciplines with a consistent design language that provides meaningful moments for faculty branding.
KDA has strategically and efficiently designed a signage master plan for Queen’s University’s most innovative campus building, while simultaneously leading a complex consultative process with various Stakeholders.
Departmental Environmental Graphics
To create visual distinction and provide individual expression, KDA designed an environmental graphic pattern for each faculty department within Mitchell Hall.
The patterns are based on various geometric forms as a further means to express the Centre’s core attributes of ‘innovation and wellness’. They are each unique, yet complementary in form.
Connecting through digital networks
A programmable digital network provides users with a smart-system wayfinding display that actively promotes daily events, symposiums, classes, lectures and fundraising opportunities.
