Wayfinding may assist people in navigating through unfamiliar settings inside buildings. By answering this question, “Which way should I take?” within any given direction, wayfinding will provide the methods that individuals may take to get to their destination.
Proper information in the proper place
It is important that you know that wayfinding solutions may solve issues by offering information at points of decision. Most companies may make signs, yet few are able to assist in solving wayfinding and information management issues. Well-executed wayfinding includes offering the proper information, in the proper place and at the proper time.
Well-defined path through spaces
The power of wayfinding that connect buildings is offering a concise path to travel and directions to assist people in knowing where to go and reassurance that it is the correct path. Also, wayfinding offers identification to confirm a placement, navigate puzzling halls or locate the exit. The location of wayfinding signs inside a building may be useful at decision points like exits, hallways, elevators and entrances
ADA compliance and directional wayfinding
Wayfinding solutions may assist in eliminating confusion, reducing stress and making a brand more visible. Well-placed wayfinding signs in healthcare buildings and hospitals may be useful for visitors experiencing fear, stress, relief, joy and anxiety. In public spaces and museums, wayfinding assists visitors in navigating from the parking signage to the monument signage at a building’s main entrance.
Oftentimes, wayfinding solutions are necessary to address regulatory compliance by displaying accessible environments for disabled individuals. The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant signage may point out entrances to buildings and are helpful for connecting rooms inside buildings and additional functional areas.
Wayfinding Signage
Building directories visually can connect wayfinding by offering maps, graphics, site diagrams, lists of names, and destinations at a certain public venue, facility or building. The appearance of an environment or building may be enhanced using directional signage, door and wall signage, parking lot signs and name plates, which may be branded to make a building or facility become easier to navigate and look better.
