Education

Good navigation in large institutions like universities and schools creates inviting environments and provides stress-free and effortless people movement. We collaborate with architects and capital projects teams to create wayfinding systems that guide students seamlessly around campus, while preventing congestion forming at junction points. We use signage for directional navigation and to form designated areas, so students and visitors know they are in the right place. Our expert touch turns areas into inviting spaces with wall art, window decorations, bold vinyl graphics or frosting to separate spaces and create privacy. Our combined team of wayfinding experts, designers and craftspeople means we are able to devise solutions to meet any budget and brief.

Education establishments, from nursery schools to universities, play a vital role in shaping the minds of future generations. At Wise Studios, we believe that the learning experience should be enhanced by an inspiring environment, and we are here to collaborate with educational institutions in designing, manufacturing, and installing beautiful signs that create an atmosphere conducive to learning and exploration. With our expertise in craftsmanship, creativity, collaboration, and wayfinding, we can transform educational spaces into engaging and navigable environments. This has far-reaching aspects not always considered - we have experience in the development of bilingual signs including te reo Māori translations and also in the development of traffic safety signage.
