Scope Design and implementation of interior and exterior building and wayfinding signage, and campus map

This Harvard University graduate student housing complex located along the Charles River was designed by architect Benjamin Thompson and completed in 1976. The renovation refreshed the landscaping and pedestrian paths as well as the exteriors and interiors of the buildings, and created new amenity and collaboration spaces while respecting and enhancing the original design. The signage added much-needed wayfinding with classic modernist typography and a restrained color and material palette to complement the renovated buildings.
