Government
Wayfinding & Identification
From city and county to state federal, semiotic systems are imperative aspects of both public and secure facilities.
Experiential Systems works with all stakeholders to provide for hassle free analysis and programming of complex architectural signage systems.
Our hierarchical analysis covers room identification, code compliance, life safety, and wayfinding from every path of travel. To accomplish this efficiently, we have developed an ever evolving set of best practices soliciting and collaborating with the architect of record, staff, and users of the built environment and environs.
In nearly all governmental facilities, metal plaques, markers, seals, emblems, and commemorative reliefs adorn or identify significant places and themes. Remaining code compliant with ADA, among other federal and local statues and codes is inherently expected of such facilities too.
Perhaps the most important type of semiotics within any built environment is wayfinding. Such signage and markings are essential for the public to find where they are going as quickly as possible.
Experiential Systems is very comfortable and experienced in the most demanding projects. Connect with Joseph Licari on LinkedIn or drop us a line or two here.

Scope:
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, a unit of the Dept. of Defense that provides geospatial intelligence, such as satellite imagery, for national security objectives.
Clark / Balfour Beatty’s overall scope included a 2.2-million-sq-ft office, a 105,000-sq-ft central utility plant, a 5,100-space parking garage and a 7,300-sq-ft visitor control center. Just over $1.5 billion in total project value. Our scope consisted of high end internally illuminated monuments & pylons, wayfinding, traffic control, and environmental graphics.
Besides the fact a simple stop sign could literally be engineered to stop a vehicle, these structures are sharp lines of lat. & long. with strong edges and reveals.
