How Isgenuity approached the work

“To serve this unique population, the project choreographs a uniquely engaging yet calm, comfortable, and safe experience. The facility’s wayfinding, graphics, and design theme ‘The Amazing You’ celebrates the capacity of our brains to wonder, discover, explore, and imagine, surpassing limitations of the body. The design responds directly to research about the autism spectrum. Walls and ceilings were activated to encourage eyes to stay up and engaged while a network of quiet and safe spaces was carved out for those moments when overstimulation proves challenging.”
