The completed project opened in Fall 2026.

96pt. was invited to provide wayfinding services to connect its new inpatient building to the remainder of the hospital.

We assisted by creating a Horse icon for Hale, employing typography and sign standards we had developed for the main lobby renovation, and applying learned lessons to the new architectural spaces.

Our process – collaborating with architects at Shepley Bulfinch, BCH art and facilities departments, and sign fabricators – resulted in a fully coordinated program.

Building icon and color are supported by curated art pieces that work as landmarks to guide visitors and staff throughout Hale’s corridors – and merge wayfinding from the hospital’s other buildings.

The entire program is detailed for in-house facilities staff to update signs when departments or destinations change location.

96pt. was selected by Boston architects DiMella Shaffer to assist them with new signs for a historic dormitory project at Tufts University.

Wayfinding, Directory, and Library Collections signs were designed and detailed for in-house maintenance and reordering.

For our nation’s only public art college, we designed wayfinding, ADA and code compliant signs to identify entry portals, classrooms, public spaces and utilities in its new media center that connects to historic classroom and studio buildings.

We collaborated with Ennead Architects/NY and MassArt’s sign shop to achieve a system that complements the College's brand identity and palette while using materials appropriate for high traffic use.

96pt. specified products, colors and fonts so signs can be replaced with in-house equipment - allowing the College to be self-sufficient for future needs.

The project included a full scope of programming, design, bid documents, and implementation, including a public bid process overseen by the Boston Redevelopment Authority.

Boston Children's Hospital underwent a full lobby renovation and its aging sign program needed a refresh to tie in with its new brand identity. 96pt. provided a full scope of services – from analysis of the existing system and sign ordering to a revamp of wayfinding and sign fabrication to support newer, more cost effective materials and sign updating protocol.

A three-pronged approach to wayfinding using color, icon, and building name originally developed for the hospital was updated throughout the multi-building site. Hospital nomenclature was revisited to ensure destination names were easy to understand. A hierarchy of need-to-know information was developed and implemented through a family of sign types.

Programming, design and installation of the signs took over two years, with over 250 signs to remove and replace. Coordination with Elkus Manfredi Architects and BCH facilities team was a smooth process. All were committed to creating natural placement for signs and graphics that make navigating easier for all – including international patients and visitors.

Brooks School in Andover, Massachusetts worked with 96pt. on fresh ways to integrate its long-standing brand identity into various building and site opportunities on its 250 acre Lake Cochichewick campus.

Boston based architects ARC, designers of Brooks’ new Admission building, referred the school to 96pt.

We dove in, collaborating with marketing and facilities staff to design ADA compliant room signs that formalize the use of Brooks’ iconic shield, colors, and typographic standards – to tie into existing campus graphics and build toward future uses.

Next, we applied these brand standards to a new exterior wayfinding sign system, designed to complement the school’s New England referenced architecture.

The school now has a resource of sign standards that incorporate brand identity, type, color, and sign details that can be readily applied to future building and site projects.

This Massachusetts non-profit wildlife conservation organization reached out to 96pt. to provide consulting services for their roll out of new brand standards on wayfinding signs, site and informational maps for 40+ wildlife locations.

Collaborative work with the project team yielded results for new sign standards that hone in on color, typography, legibility, messaging and cost effective retrofitting of the organization’s existing sign structures throughout the state.

Boston University approached 96pt. to consult with facilities staff who wanted to add more signs to help students and visitors navigate to galleries, classrooms, office suites and amenities located in its Student Center.

We often say "less is more" – and after reviewing existing signs, saw an opportunity to group and prioritize information to improve clarity. We used BU's color and brand standards to create a simple, easy to follow system of sign types for corridors, stairwells, and elevators.

The new signs can be updated and replaced as needed by University staff. The use of aluminum directory cases and wall brackets, paper inserts, and thick card stock sign panels make the system elements recyclable, too.

Cambridge Health Alliance approached 96pt. to assist the organization’s mission to increase visibility of Emergency Service access points at three urban hospital and outpatient sites in the Boston area.

After conducting an audit and analysis of existing wayfinding routes and signs, we documented our findings and recommended next steps for steering committee approval.

Next, we worked alongside CHA’s internal graphic design team to revise and streamline their existing exterior sign system. We changed the hierarchy of information to prioritize Emergency messaging on wayfinding, site and entrance signs to help patients and visitors navigate more efficiently to Emergency entry points.

Collaborating with CHA’s assigned sign fabricator, we provided sign layouts, reviewed shop drawings and samples, and oversaw the successful installation of replacement sign panels and new sign structures for all locations.
