Signage & Wayfinding

Types of Signs - Why They are Necessary Overhead - Navigation through system - Names your current location - Provides orientation within system Maps/Directories - View of entire system - Displays current location in the system - Shows access points - Amenities - Building/tenant index Vertical Access - Clear access point to/from street level and skywalk - Visible/recognizable from a distance - Consistent throughout system Street Crossing - Represents current street/bridge crossing - Provides orientation within system Directional - Used In areas where a standard vertical access sign is visible Informational - For use with all secondary, non-wayfinding signs - No Smoking - "Doors to remain unlocked..." - Restrooms Advertising

Overhead Signs - Direction to buildings - Current building name - Distance to each building (matching the existing street level pedestrian system) - Icons corresponding to amenities (need to check the feasibility of alterations if icons need changed) - Position/Direction Code - Shows heading direction (eg East) - Emergency responder locator (eg. 6E)

Vertical Access Signs - "Circle S" to symbolize the skywalk system throughout - Street Level Hours of accessibility Position code which relates to code on overhead signs - Skywalk Level Hours of accessibility Names of street accessed by exit

Street Crossing Signs - Help provide orientation - Similar in design to street level pedestrian signage - Positioned at the center of each bridge/street crossing Directional Access Signs - Same red color as the vertical access signage - Directs to skywalk accessible areas not immediately located on skywalk Informational Signs - Incorporate skywalk wayfinding brand into other signage - Relates information to the system - Consistency

Directory Kiosk -"Circle S" Symbol -Incorporate arch detail of bridges and street level signs -Skyline art to reflect design of street level signs -East Village/Capitol removed - Bridges replaced by illuminated red strip representing skywalk

Interactive Directory Building Index - Categorical sorting (food, retail, entertainment, lodging) - Walking routes with mileage - Touch a name to highlight on map Detail View - Street Level Access, Escalator, Elevator, Public Phones, Bus Stops - May also show category icons (food, retail, etc). Emergency Screen - Automatically displays detail view with emergency exits - Emergency information and instructions Other - Upcoming Event/Advertising space - News Feed - Current time and temp

Signage and Wayfinding

Partnership Opportunity Des Moines Register has proposed they could provide, manage and update all content needed for the kiosk, website and mobile applications. Having a consistent and constantly refreshed source of content will provide users on all platforms a more unified and richer experience. Des Moines Register brand would bring consistency and enhance the content. Signage and Wayfinding

Content and Data - Business and restaurant listings - Events - News (headlines, stories, restaurant reviews, photos and video) - Weather Interactive Experiences - Daily news coverage - Special events (State tournaments, RAGBRAI) - Sustainable non-news and public service products Opportunities for Generating Revenue - Large sales force with deep community connections - More local volume and better targeted advertisements Partnership Opportunity

Implementation Scenarios 1.Initial Investment Hard and Soft Options & Costs 2.Ongoing Investments Maintenance and Operations Costs Signage and Wayfinding

All Scenarios: New Overheads/Vertical Access/Street Signage Scenario #1 Replace Graphics in Existing Directories Scenario #2 New Kiosk Directory “Body” – with Static Graphics Scenario #3 New Kiosk Directory “Body” – ½ Static Graphics & ½ Touchscreens Scenario #4 New Kiosk Directory – All Touchscreens Implementation Scenarios
