PSA: Have you noticed the paper maps/signs hanging around FAC recently? This was part of a final project for some Drake graphic design students. The corrections on the signs will be made before being printed on a more permanent (adhesive) material. Please respect the current posters and don't throw them away if you notice them falling off the walls. Thanks to the graphic design students in leading this initiative that will make FAC more accessible to our guests!
