We originally chose the building of Wescoe which is the home of the English department, the entire building is consisted of floors and stairs. But then the group decided to focus specifically on the difficulty students face when it comes to navigating to the Underground. The Underground is on the first floor of the building and is a giant food court that students can gather at to eat socialize and study. There is even a gift shop and cafe inside the restaurant.
The issue with the Underground is that it has three entrances that it can be reached by, one in the building itself, one by going down the main stairwell outside near the beach of Wescoe and one on the side that leads the student into the exit of the restaurant. The issue with all three entrances is that none of them are marked, so if a new student is trying to find the Underground they will have a difficult time. There are no signs or arrows to guide the students, you either find it by pure luck or by having older students show you.
So we decided to guide the newcomers to the Underground by leaving visual clues at each of the entrances with the major emphasis being put on the main entrance on the first floor of Wescoe. Complete with new signs arrows and a few fliers here and there.
