WSU Digital
Wayfinder
Project Overview
Western Sydney University’s new flagship Parramatta City Campus at 1 Parramatta Square marks the start of an exciting new era for the University. We created a state of the art Campus Navigator to guide students around WSU’s new flagship Parramatta City Campus.
The Challenge
The new purpose-built campus provides a student-centred state of the art collaborative environment, modelled upon an activity-based workplace. In keeping with a technology first environment we were tasked with developing a digital wayfinding system for the entire building.
The Solution
Collaborating with THERE, we were tasked with crafting a user-centric wayfinding system that supported the campus’ new learning style.
The custom built digital WSU Campus Navigator - providing engaging touch-screen wayfinding and realtime (API data driven) information about the building and its usage.
The WSU Campus Navigator interface enabled students to be able to book a study room, find a Lecturer or even see when the next train is about to depart from nearby Parramatta Station - connecting the campus to its immediate surrounds.
