2. Circular and distance-gauging signage Sign System 1

A circular sign on the floor inside the ground floor entrance serves as an easy guide for patients. Floors and windows are marked with measures of distance so that patients can gauge how far they've walked. The markings on windows also help to prevent patients from colliding into them.
