Special Issue nteucom 6uko uniucusity mc6icM ccntett VOLUME 18, NUMBER 8 MARCH 5, 1971 DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Medical Center Unveils SEDO White Blue System Based on 8 Color Zones SEDO, the Medical Center's much-talked-about directional system, goes into operation next week. Known officially as the "System for Environmental Direction and Orientation," SEDO is designed to help visitors, patients, students, and new employes get where they want to go without getting lost. The system is based on the division of the Medical Center into eight color zones—white, blue, red, green, yellow, purple, orange, and brown. The purpose of the zones is to aid people in orienting themselves and get them headed in the right direction. The color zones, which have no relationship to the areas' functions, are distinguished by the background color of the hanging SEDO signs in that section. For example, all the signs in the green zone have black letters on a green background. Eventually, all other signs, including temporary ones, will be replaced with those done in the proper colors. In addition, stairway doors and elevators have been painted to match the zone in which they're located. Special lighted SEDO signs have been mounted to show where one color zone ends and another begins. MAIN ENTRANCE ^MbAKER HOUSE\ Brown f Yellow CAMPUS ENTRANCE
