San Francisco International Airport Harvey Milk Terminal 1 Signage & Wayfinding

Strategic signage and wayfinding research, design, and implementation for the San Francisco International Airport’s (SFO) Harvey Milk Terminal 1. Using and contributing to SFO’s proprietary wayfinding standards, Nick and colleagues at Gensler San Francisco implemented a signage and wayfinding program for the 1,400,000 square foot terminal renovation project. Nick has worked on the SFO Terminal 1 project since 2016, interfacing with SFO stakeholders, construction partners, and the larger design team to research user needs and create passenger and employee journey typologies, develop strategic wayfinding plans and programs across both passenger-facing and back-of-house operational environments, bring existing standards into code compliance and construction feasibility, and partner with the construction team to bring the finished signage and wayfinding elements to life.
