MICA Fred Lazarus IV Center
A dynamic space for art and experimentation
The Fred Lazarus IV Center, a former sewing factory, now serves as a dynamic art hub for graduate and undergraduate students at Maryland Institute College of Art. Its open plan offers over 3,000 square feet of exhibition space, challenging the development of a wayfinding system that doesn’t rely on walls.
Wayfinding and directories are integrated into the building’s columns, with red accents guiding students through the space.
Exterior signage establishes MICA’s presence in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District. The logo is painted vertically on the building’s façade to catch the attention of people entering the district, while illuminated letters wrap around the top of the building, extending visibility across the area.
