Wayfinding for industrial estates and business parks

Thursday 16 March 2017

Spaces where vehicles and pedestrians interact and interchange is no more felt than at a busy and bustling industrial estate or business park.

In this talk, Jonathan Docksey from wayfinding agency Design JD will explore the different needs of pedestrians and vehicles on industrial estates. He will also explain how the agency engages with users to ensure success.

Over the last five years, Design JD have been working on industrial estate wayfinding solutions that ensure a smooth and safe experience for all concerned. Tackling these projects involves taking into account all aspects of the wayfinding journey: from pre-visit information, road signage, and pedestrian signage through to the interaction between people and road traffic.
Using case studies, Jonathan will show examples of the agency’s work developing brands for industrial sites, and how this branding has been applied to create unique signage solutions.
