Portland Public Library
Wayfinding, Signage and Graphics

Woodworth Associates recently designed the wayfinding, signage, and graphics program for the newly renovated Portland Public Library in Portland, Maine. The exterior graphics, elegant and understated, were created in multiple languages. The diversity of Portland is further acknowledged throughout the interior of the Library on room identification signs translated into eight languages. Stunning photographs of old books by Abe Morrell serve as backdrops to interior wayfinding. The photography offers an exciting, but thoughtful, visual contrast to the renovation.

Directional signs, orientation maps, floor directories, room identification signs, donor recognition, stack identification, and exterior graphics for the building were completed in collaboration with Scott Simons Architects.
