Together, through design, we can shape a brighter future for the next generation.

On average, one student per classroom experiences color vision deficiency, also known as color blindness. Since 80% of information is conveyed visually, it's important we don't rely on color alone for communication.

Robertson Loia Roof, PC incorporated shapes into the entryway and hallways of Cartersville Primary School to ensure children with color blindness benefit from directional instruction the same as those without color vision deficiency. Each color and associated shape on the floor correlates with a specific grade, helping children and visitors find their way to class.

Featured are the Mindful Play carpet tile collection and LVT collections Vertical Layers and Terrain II.
