The Eyes Have (Had) It
Gettin' some ... access baby!
A real perk of the job here is privileged access.
You can go where others cannot.
It's like an exclusive club!
Sometimes you'll find a reminder of just how special you are -- with a sign announcing this is restricted to non-special persons ...
Cornucopia
A common symbol of Thanksgiving, the cornucopia or "horn of plenty," is a symbol of abundance, an overflowing vessel of various goodies. Coincidentally, we have our own cornucopia here, an abundance of visual treats for all to enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving!
Awww, those exceptionally gifted young minds have an office, too.
Elevating our signage standards
Deck the hall
Next time you're in the area, take a left here down the hallway. You've likely strolled past it in the past. Now you can appreciate the wonderful assortment of visual pleasures, all in one small space.
Take a right and find epilespy
We have a nice Comprehensive Epilepsy Center on campus.
From the Olathe parking garage tunnel, visitors find the first of many signs to get there.

Maphazard, part 2
To the person who stole our 1993 campus map this week:
No, we will not pay any ransom to get it back.
That only encourages you to do it again, right?
And frankly we think your asking price of $5.00
was totally inappropriate for such a rare item!

Plaque Cemetery
Tucked away in a far corner of campus
is a special place where old memorials go to retire:
Maphazard
Humans are visual creatures and a map can really help you find your way around such a large campus. And we take maps seriously here with a professional mat and solid wood frame. This allows our maps to serve visitors for decades.
Don't challenge the sign maker
Even if you paint a very large and easily visible indicator for the current level in the parking garage, you will still get a sign from the official sign maker. Apparently this has helped more people remember where to find their vehicles after work.
Okay, so then what does the BLACK text indicate?
Duuuuuunnn duunnh ... (Pretend this is the theme from Jaws.)
But at least you're helping advance science?
One has to wonder what kind of experiments we're doing on people ... if it means subjects have to say goodbye to all their friends and family forever and be moved to a secret location far away.
Re-sign-cling
I'm all for reusing materials and reducing waste
... and glad to see the sign makers are, too.

But this one is a s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
Email broke?
Natural disaster on a button
What does it do? Do you push it in the event of one happening?
... or to start one?
Student lounge
When I was in school, our student lounge had reclining chairs, games like ping-pong, and TVs. Guess things are different these days. Now I feel old.
In case of forgotten helmet
Firefighters can relax if they forget their helmet on a call to KU Med.
In case of wardrobe emergency, push this button and a helmet comes out.
