Guiding concept with history
for the Education Campus
The BildungsCampus Herford was built on the site of the former Wentworth Barracks – a place with history. R211 developed a guidance and orientation system as well as a Corporate Design that connects the past with the future and gives the campus a new, unmistakable identity.
Orientation and identity for the Education Campus
Since no concrete Corporate Design existed, R211 conceived an independent identity that refers to the heraldic emblem of the former British 11th Armoured Division. This historical reference formed the basis for a visual storytelling that links the campus with its history and simultaneously positions it as a modern educational institution.



The planning envisaged steles as the primary signage element, and deliberately avoided additional signposts between the destinations. Together with the Herford urban development company and the landscape architects, R211 developed a modular guidance system that creates both functional orientation and an identity-forming appearance.

Thanks to overview panels on the steles, orientation is possible from any location. Supplemented by information on functional areas, institutions and companies on the campus, the system offers clear routing. Especially in the “F” start-up building, the new brand identity becomes visible through versatile applications on glass surfaces and room dividers, making the brand tangible.
