School Campus Floorplan
The layout clearly labels key functional areas such as classrooms, playground, cafeteria, and parking, providing a straightforward spatial understanding. However, the design could be improved with enhanced visual clarity, consistent labeling styles, and inclusion of a legend or scale for better usability.

Low contrast of room labels on white background
Major
Color & Contrast
The Problem
Black text on a white background typically has adequate contrast, but the thin and small font weight and size used here for labels like 'playground', 'cafeteria', and 'classroom' causes difficulty in readability, especially at smaller sizes.
Why it Matters
Users could struggle to read important room names quickly, reducing usability and accessibility of the floor plan.
How to Fix
Use a bolder or larger font weight and size for these labels to improve readability, or consider using a darker black or stronger font weight.
Issue Highlights
Misalignment of building rooms and elements
Moderate
Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
The Problem
Rooms and elements inside the building like classrooms, lab, kitchen, prayer area, and cafeteria do not align on a consistent grid, causing a somewhat disorganized appearance.
Why it Matters
Misaligned elements can confuse users trying to interpret the space layout and may reduce trust in the accuracy of the map.
How to Fix
Adjust the layout so all rooms and areas align to a consistent grid or set of vertical and horizontal guides.
Issue Highlights
Low contrast for small internal boundary lines and text
Moderate
Color & Contrast
The Problem
The thin black lines and small text labels within the building floor sections appear faint and could edge near insufficient contrast due to thin stroke weight against the white background.
Why it Matters
Users with visual impairments or low vision might miss small partitions or labels inside the layout, impacting comprehension of the plan.
How to Fix
Increase the line stroke thickness and font weight slightly to ensure clear visibility of boundaries and text.
Issue Highlights
Text Labels Are Too Small to Read Easily
Moderate
Content Readability & Clarity
The Problem
Labels such as 'play equipment area', 'cafeteria', and 'classroom' use very small font sizes that make them difficult to read without zooming in. The small text size and thin font weight reduce readability across the map.
Why it Matters
Users may struggle to quickly identify important areas on the map, leading to comprehension delays or errors when navigating the layout.
How to Fix
Increase the font size and weight of all labels on the map to ensure they are legible at the default zoom level.
Issue Highlights
Ambiguous Label Placement Near 'Kitchen'
Moderate
Content Readability & Clarity
The Problem
The label 'kitchen' is placed very close to the 'cafeteria' label, but it is not clear if it refers to the same room or a separate space due to their proximity and small font size.
Why it Matters
Unclear labeling may confuse users about the exact location and relationship of kitchen and cafeteria areas in the map layout.
How to Fix
Increase spacing between labels and consider adding borders or different label styles to clarify room delineations.
Issue Highlights
Labels Lack Visual Hierarchy to Differentiate Major Areas
Moderate
Content Readability & Clarity
The Problem
All labels are in similar font size and style, which makes it hard to distinguish primary zones (e.g., 'playground', 'cafeteria', 'parking') from smaller labels (e.g., 'lab', 'storage').
Why it Matters
The absence of clear text hierarchy impedes users from quickly understanding the spatial organization and prioritizing the map areas.
How to Fix
Use different font sizes, weights, or colors to emphasize main areas and de-emphasize secondary labels.
Issue Highlights
Too Many Classroom Labels Create Clutter
Moderate
Efficiency & Cognitive Load
The Problem
The floor plan shows multiple small classroom labels closely packed, requiring users to scan many labels to find specific classrooms.
Why it Matters
This increases the number of decisions and micro-steps users perform mentally to identify spaces, slowing navigation and understanding.
How to Fix
Group similar classrooms under a single label or use an interactive legend instead of labeling each one individually on screen.
Issue Highlights
Inconsistent spacing of green tree icons
Minor
Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
The Problem
Green tree icons vary in size and spacing irregularly at the top and within the building layout, disrupting visual balance.
Why it Matters
Inconsistent icon spacing detracts from a polished and professional appearance of the map.
How to Fix
Standardize tree icon sizes and distribute them evenly aligned to the grid or layout flow.
Issue Highlights
Multiple Tree Images Distract from Floor Plan
Minor
Efficiency & Cognitive Load
The Problem
The large, detailed tree images placed around the perimeter and inside the plan add visual clutter without providing actionable information.
Why it Matters
Users may find their attention drawn away from the important floor plan details, increasing cognitive load and reducing quick comprehension.
How to Fix
Replace the detailed trees with simpler icons or outlines, or remove them entirely unless essential for understanding the layout.
