Experiential wayfinding goes beyond basic signage—it creates a navigational journey that is intuitive, emotionally resonant, and seamlessly integrated into the built environment. At Miller EG Design, we believe that every point of navigation is an opportunity to tell a story, communicate identity, and improve how people feel as they move through a space. Our vision is to design environments that not only direct people but also engage them—blending utility with inspiration to create spaces that truly work for the people who use them.
Bringing It to Life: Westminster School Tunnel Transformation
In The Westminster Schools Tunnel Transformation, Miller EG Design applied the principles of experiential wayfinding to revitalize a previously underutilized pedestrian corridor. The result is a dynamic, student-centric space that guides movement, fosters school pride, and enhances everyday experiences.
Through the lens of our 12 Factors of Better Wayfinding, this project exemplifies how design excellence improves navigation:
Clarity and Simplicity: Bold graphics and clean typography help users quickly orient themselves within the tunnel and surrounding campus.
Consistency and Flow: A unified color palette and graphic language align with the school’s brand identity, ensuring a seamless visual journey.
Strategic Placement: Wall-mounted supergraphics and directional cues were intentionally positioned at key decision points, guiding students between two campus buildings.
User-Centric Design: Designed with students, faculty, and visitors in mind, the tunnel creates an intuitive route while celebrating school culture.
Environmental Context: The graphics reflect the energy and spirit of the school community, transforming a simple passageway into a storytelling experience.
