If someone wants to get somewhere on campus and doesn’t know where to go, an obvious wayfinding point might sound like the several directory signs on campus.

However, using these directory signs might prove difficult, as flyers telling people to scan a QR code for current versions of the campus directory cover up the signs.

Several locations listed on wayfinding signs throughout campus are not accurate and have not been accurate since at least January 2026.

For instance, the sign on Lawrence Hall’s second floor lists the Pioneer Pantry’s location as the second floor. The pantry has been located on the first floor of Thayer Hall since the fall 2024 semester.

Additionally, all directory signs still refer to the Center for Inclusive Excellence (CIE) on the second floor of Lawrence Hall, which was replaced by the Teaching Lab and no longer exists in the same form it once did.

On some floors of Lawrence Hall, The Globe’s office is listed as the seventh floor of Lawrence Hall. This has not been true since at least 2018.

Anyone who scans the QR code pasted on directory signs across campus leads to the department directory on Point Park’s website. The online directory includes many spaces in campus buildings and relevant phone numbers.

However, all the phone numbers are listed as just the extension, which was typical for calling departments or offices from campus phones. The campus phones no longer work, requiring students to add the area code and exchange number, 412-392, to every listed extension in the directory.

It is unclear when the directory signs were last updated or replaced. Each sign has Point Park’s old logo, which was phased out in 2012 and only present on directory signs and on Academic Hall’s Boulevard of the Allies side.
