Lend Lease engaged ID LAB to develop a campus wide wayfinding strategy and signage design for the new $473 million Bendigo Hospital. The project included redeveloping the existing Bendigo Hospital site with the addition of a new hospital, which is able to treat an extra 10,000 acute patients every year in the region.
In coordination with architects, interior designers and landscape architects, ID LAB developed a design strategy that draws on biophilic design theories. The environmental graphics employed throughout the facility depict the natural surroundings of the region with the intent to create a psychological connection with the patients and visitors alike. ID LAB engaged in extensive user groups and workshops to ensure the needs of all users are reflected throughout the strategy and design.
