- Building design and the use of wayfinding aids creates an easily navigable development
- Navigation is considered in terms of accessibility and provides for people with vision, hearing or mobility impairments
Occupants and visitors should be able to effortlessly navigate a mixed use development.
Easy navigation of a site extends beyond simply providing signage; there are numerous opportunities to ease navigation through building design. This includes architectural elements such as:
- an identifiable entrance visible from all directions of approach
- an information desk visible on entering the building
- a central orientation space into which other areas connect
- prominent landmarks (e.g. a special stair or sculpture) that visitors will remember and use to orientate themselves in the future.
