Communication within Aspire

Last Sunday I went to Aspire to search for examples of communication. While I was in the area I tried to find examples of signs, people communicating, and issues where signs were needed but were absent. The reason why I looked at these areas was so that I could find the issues in communication within the area. I took some photos so that I could look back at what I saw.

In the space I noticed that there were a lot of signs showing directions or maps within the area. But while these signs were provided, some were either in the wrong places or had been weathered and were not legible. Another issue i noticed were there were no signs for communication with public issues such as restrooms, garbage, or the separation between the public areas and areas that were specifically for the school. One time I was walking along on a path and a security guard told me I was not supposed to be in that certain area, but there were no signs to tell me this before he came. Also I found a lot of littering along the path, mostly of water bottles that the runners had thrown carelessly to the side of the track when they had finished them. They should have signs to tell people no to litter and provide information on where they can find trash cans mainly because it is an outside public area.
