With the aim of creating a new “global campus,” Sophia University has been improving its external structures such as the thorough implementation of universal design.

As these changes become more visible, the Office of Sophia Sustainability Promotion’s Campus Improvement Team has focused on improving information barriers with greater regard for diversity and a campus environment that helps support mental and physical health. In these efforts, student staff took the lead in developing signage with consideration for visibility and multilingual support.

Signs around campus had various issues, including language, color and information, that made them hard to use. The above matters were taken into immediate consideration, and general signage and area information signs unique to Sophia were installed.

Sophia will continue to install information signs, name signs, etc. that are continuous with these signs.
