Way-finding is the ability of people to perceive routes, flow patterns, or passageways inside and/or around a building. In other words,\nit is the capability of a person to know their whereabouts in a space. Modular buildings and complex spatial plan structure, in general,\ncan be very confusing, especially from a way-finding point of view. This research attempts to measure the way-finding performance of\na modular building by assessing the users� experience in finding their way inside the Male Engineering Building at Qatar University.\nThe study involved students, faculty, and staff members that utilize that space daily. The research focused on accessing indoor spaces\nas well as the walkways and spaces connected to the building. Results show that parameters as the use of colours and numbers can\nimprove capability and swiftness in way-finding. In future research, several types of signage and visual elements will be tested, in\norder to understand how they can enhance way-finding efficiency and user performance within indoor spaces.
