Designed by world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli, the new Minneapolis Public Library needed a comprehensive wayfinding plan and aesthetically beautiful signage.

Highlights

  • Signage needed to complement the library's contemporary architecture and meet the needs of all patrons and visitors
  • Innovative technology: kiosks with flat-screen monitors, three-dimensional information signs, and backlit colorful letters
  • More than 1,500 signs were created as part of a navigation plan to ensure that patrons reached their desired goal
  • Writing in USAToday, NPR's Nancy Pearl chose the Minneapolis Public Library as one of the "10 Great Places to Find a Nook and Read a Book"
