“…. pursuing practical, real-world solutions that address all aspects of the climate crisis.”
Challenge
Our goal was to create a comprehensive portal hub for all of Harvard's work related to climate change and sustainability. Understanding the diverse user personas—students, researchers, alumni, professors, professionals, and enthusiasts—we conducted thorough UX research and developed an information architecture that would provide the best user experience.
Results
The new website features a modern and clean visual identity that echoes Harvard’s traditional style while incorporating contemporary design elements. This balance ensures a seamless and engaging experience for all users.
Through thoughtful UX design and information architecture, we established a logical information flow and a scalable framework. Our modular component system ensures adaptability for future content additions. And the introduction of a universal filter page and the expansion of the website in Phase 2 brought the overall IA and UX improvements to a larger number of specific audiences in and around Harvard and Salata, for better access to faculty, opportunities, research materials, and more.
