Figured this would be most apporriate place to post this, doesn't sounds like Vanoc is cutting back on it's wayfinding budget.
Oh and we'll start to see them starting in Aug.
The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games has partnered with municipalities and provincial agencies in order to create a temporary signage program which provides all Games client groups (spectators, athletes, media, workforce, etc.) with sufficient
Wayfinding information to move successfully throughout the Greater Vancouver and Whistler corridor areas during the Games.
VANOC and the Project Partners require directional signage specific to the Games that includes but is not limited to;
• VANOC transportation operation areas (depots, compounds, Park & Rides);
• TransLink and BC Transit transportation routes and infrastructures (i.e. Park & Rides, bus depots,transit exchanges);
• Sea-to-Sky corridor and areas in and around the various municipalities of Greater Vancouver;
• Other areas (Celebration Sites, etc.).
The goal of the Urban Domain Games Wayfinding Signage Project is to plan and implement a comprehensive temporary Wayfinding sign program required for the successful staging of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in the areas of the Games Theatre that are outside of the
Games venues as outlined in Appendix 2 – Official Competition and Non-Competition Venues.
The key objectives in achieving this goal are:
• To ensure visual uniformity of wayfinding signage throughout the Games Theatre, particularly between the Games venues and the Urban Domain.
• By integrating with VANOC’s Look of the Games DSM, the signage will contribute to the atmosphere of celebration and excitement by providing a positive experience for all Games participants.
• To ensure signage is coordinated and consistent amongst the Project Partners / agencies in order to provide clear and continuous information to the Games client groups.
