Interior Wayfinding Signage

A Complex Problem

Navigating large or complex buildings such as hospitals, airports, shopping centers, and hotels requires an effective interior wayfinding signage system. Such systems must provide clear, consistent visual cues—like directional signs, maps, and symbols—to facilitate easy and efficient navigation, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. Additionally, these systems should be inclusive, accommodating the needs of all users, including those with disabilities, to improve accessibility and usability within the space.
 

A Simple Solution

Hi Signs tackled this challenge at the Mount Royal Hotel in Banff by designing an interior wayfinding system that not only aids in navigation but also reinforces the hotel’s brand identity. The system included ADA Compliant Braille and tactile signage, which was aesthetically integrated using antique brushed metallic screen printing for border accents and crisp white tactile for 3D textured door numbers. This approach ensured the signage was both functional and visually appealing, enhancing the elegance of the hotel’s interiors.
 

The Result

The implementation of the well-designed interior wayfinding system at the Mount Royal Hotel has significantly improved navigation for all guests, making the space more accessible and user-friendly. The use of high-quality materials and thoughtful design details like screen printed acrylic and laser-cut tactile elements created a cohesive and memorable visual experience that aligns with the hotel’s sophisticated branding. The system has effectively reduced confusion and enriched the user experience for visitors of all abilities.
