The new building of the FernUni Schweiz and the Fernfachhochschule Schweiz (FFHS) in Brig receives a wayfinding. Rooms, floors, floor overviews, and parking field labels were labeled bilingually (German and French).

The signage is based on the DIN paper format (basic format A6). Each piece of information has its own space. This principle allows an enlargement or division of the format as well as an addition or reduction of the information carriers, depending on the requirements.

The uniform materialization blends in with the interior design and furnishings. Birch plywood panels were printed over their entire surface in five different colors, with the typeface (Nouvelle Grotesk) left out and mounted on glass, wood, exposed concrete and steel. Training rooms and parking areas were stenciled onto glass or exposed concrete.
