Our team at Arrowstreet partnered with Run the Gamut to design their first training center, taking the project from concept to opening in just seven months. The 10,000 SF facility is dedicated to supporting autistic young adults as they transition into independent living and employment. Designed as a supportive and immersive environment, the center elevates real-world skill building, fosters a strong sense of community, and empowers every young adult with confidence.

The signage and wayfinding were crafted with an emphasis on clarity and calm visual communication, while maintaining a cohesive connection to the brand and interior design. Functionality, inclusivity, and sensitivity to diverse sensory and cognitive needs informed every design decision. Soft-edged forms and clean, simple typography ensure that all signage remains clear, legible, and welcoming for both students and staff.

Environmental graphics serve as a visually engaging focal points that reinforces Run the Gamut’s mission, blending dynamic color with meaningful, supportive messaging. Three large wall graphics throughout the center highlight inspirational phrases that students can pause and reflect on as they move between classes. One of these, “Why fit in, when you were born to stand out?”—a message deeply embraced by the Run the Gamut team­—is prominently displayed outside their offices.

Once a waterfront junkyard, Gibson Point was transformed into a 6-story, 291-unit multifamily development that embodies health and wellness. 

Between working out in the fitness center or yoga room, receiving treatment at the spa, or collecting yourself in a private reflection room, residents enjoy many opportunities to recharge. The theme of wellness extends from the building to individual units with a minimalistic, biophilic design. Live plants and natural materials provide a quiet headspace and separation from the stresses of everyday life. 

Environmental strategies like rain gardens, a vegetated shoreline, and a slanted green roof support stormwater management. A new public boardwalk invites both residents and the broader community to slow down, enjoy serene views, and connect with the neighborhood. Located beside Gibson Park, everyone can choose their path to wellness, whether it’s through a contemplative walk along the water or a calming moment of stillness.

Happy International Wayfinding Month! For over 30 years, we’ve created thoughtful signage and wayfinding systems that guide people seamlessly through their journeys.

Wayfinding often goes unnoticed when done well, yet it’s essential to shaping intuitive, meaningful experiences. This month, we invite you to pause and reflect on the paths you travel — and the quiet design that helps guide your way.

What’s a place where great signage made a difference in your experience? Let us know!
