Queensland Children's Hospital needed to enhance their Entertainment Precinct’s branded identity; facilitate a joyful experience within that distracts families from illness; and improve its wayfinding for locating services. The designer addressed this through uniquely incorporating playground games into wayfinding. The visual design complements integrates architecture and environment. The co-design and interdisciplinary approach with stakeholders, key to the project success, is also unique.

The Childrens Hospital Wayfinding and Experience Design Team combines QUT Design Lab creatives and researchers with Queensland Children's Hospital curatorial and health communication specialists, reflecting the interdisciplinary approach typical of the QUT Design Lab. This group fosters collaboration among designers, thinkers and innovators from diverse fields. Acting as a catalyst for new thinking and dissolving boundaries between disciplines, they turn concepts into tangible artefacts, images, experiences and interactions to stimulate, provoke and empower partners and design students for positive, inclusive and ethical futures. Driven by the mission of 'Change by Design' and drawing on creative research, prototypes, Human-Centred Design and critical design processes they partner with community, government, and industry to drive meaningful change - from healthcare co-design processes and artefacts, to citizen science visualisation, robotics, transport and wayfinding design.
