Structural study, not the visual design. This is a deliberately plain walkthrough of one thing: the information architecture. It is not what the redesign looked like, and it is not any university's real site. The actual hi-fi prototype is on the case study. Every program name, statistic, and outcome here is invented sample data.

Staff & student tools

The old site called this "Resources", and it collected anything without an obvious home. Nobody guessed it contained room booking. Renaming it after the people who use it, and listing its contents on the section page, moved that task from 63% to 81%.

Room booking

Reserve a lab, a study room, or the observation suite.
