MSU Sprague Library

Sprague Library Wayfinding Concept — Montclair State University
Sprague Library sought a more intuitive wayfinding system to help users navigate its multi-level building. This conceptual exploration examined the library’s circulation patterns, simplified destination naming, and proposed a cohesive visual hierarchy using bright secondary brand colors, branded typography, and cost-effective materials such as paint and vinyl.

In addition to the wayfinding system, the study also included an environmental graphic concept featuring a scrapbook-style collage that celebrated the University’s history, designed to bring character, storytelling, and a sense of place into the library environment.

The overall strategy introduced soffit-mounted identifiers, a digital directory concept, and a scalable signage family that enhances clarity, accessibility, and the overall campus experience.
