AltSchool

Known for its unique teaching methodology AltSchool replaces the traditional beliefs of common teaching practices and focuses on putting students at the centre of their education – allowing them to be co-creators of their learning. The Manhattan location occupies the entire floor of an existing building with an open space layout designed to be flexible enough to accommodate many of the student’s individual needs with a myriad of unique spots providing students with a plethora of learning options such as one-on-one or group tutoring, collaboration with other students or working independently – the school caters to all. The challenge was to design a flexible wayfinding system that could assist student navigation through the open-space layout, whilst being simplistic in both communication and design and aligning with the school’s methodology of the students ‘individual needs’.
