Alhajj M Rashid Maa, Shishu O Chokkhu Hospital

A comprehensive wayfinding and environmental signage system for a multi-block healthcare campus in Jamalpur.

Location

Malancha, Mealandah, Jamalpur

Year

2022

An architectural study defining the threshold between interior composure and wild landscape.

Circle Studio approached this project with a patient-first methodology. Before any design work began, the full campus was mapped — pedestrian circulation routes, vehicle entry points, OT corridors, and outpatient zones — to identify every moment where a person might need guidance. The result is a cohesive 200 sq ft system of 90+ individual sign units spanning wayfinders, block identifiers, OT and lab signage, doctor nameplates, and room signs, all unified by a consistent green-and-white visual language that communicates authority and care.

Architect's Note

The wayfinding hierarchy was structured across five sign types — from 2.4m tall free-standing campus navigators down to 100mm door-level room signs — ensuring every patient, visitor, and staff member can orient themselves confidently at any point on the campus. Outdoor signs use weather-coated metal frames and 3mm sticker print for durability against Jamalpur's monsoon climate.

A hospital speaks to its patients before any doctor does its signs must be calm, clear, and kind.

Atmospheric Concept

I. Material Palette

2-Color ACP (100mm) Used for free-standing lobby wayfinders (WF2) and block identification panels. Aluminium Composite Panel provides a rigid, weather-resistant base with a clean two-tone finish.
White Acrylic — Laser Cut Applied as raised lettering across wayfinders and room signs for high legibility and a premium tactile quality. Laser precision ensures consistent character sizing across all 90+ units.
Metal Sheet with UV Print 0.75mm–1.5mm metal sheets used for room signs, doctor nameplates, and normal signage. UV printing delivers sharp, fade-resistant graphics suited to high-touch indoor environments.
25×25mm Metal Framing Structural framing for outdoor wayfinder posts, weather-coated for corrosion resistance in Jamalpur's humid climate.
