GATEWAY ENHANCEMENTS Planting renovations, in addition to identity signage will help reinforce a gateway and create cohesion across the District and at the National City Campus. The Southwestern Community College District Signage Guidelines identify a major HEC monument sign to be located on the side of the building. In addition, to this sign, a District-wide gateway monument should be created to identify each campus across the entire campuses at a more pedestrian scale. The glyph art work should related to the focus of that campus and be coordinated with the college expert on glyphs. In addition to the gateway monument signage, the college should consider working with National city to enhance the asphalt crosswalks at National City Boulevard to further create a gateway onto the campus. This treatment could be utilize on other campuses as well.
