-The Community School of Music (~800 participants) meets weekly in the building, typically on the 2nd floor. Instructors and students are both confused about where to go and what parts of the building they have access to.
- One of the largest issues is how to navigate visitors from the Weeks Gallery / South Entrance to the offices in the building (mainly 2nd floor north-side). Other key issues are navigating the many stair-corridors with their many inconsistencies and the poor room numbering system.
- South entrance and North entrance aren't marked clearly enough for visitors to understand the difference
- Parking Lot 1 is the typical parking area for visitors.
- Jazz center only has exterior access and has minimal signage
- Students generally approach the building from the west, whereas guests typically approach from the east.
- The theaters and classrooms are likely the most-used areas of the building.
- Events are listed online with their location, but no where in the physical building itself
- The user of the building can range from child to the elderly, so navigation needs to be intuitive and simple.
