Project information:
In March 2021, Beta Signs were asked to supply a full signage package for the new Health & Wellbeing Centre in Bournville, working alongside architects Stride Treglown, the Bournville Village Trust and contractor A M Griffiths.
-
Our brief:
Stride Treglown created an initial brief to incorporate a dementia-friendly design across the internal wayfinding package.
-
Beta Signs added to this by providing a wayfinding consultancy, and offering our expertise on dementia-friendly materials, colours and pictograms.
-
It is important to note that when considering dementia-friendly aspects within signage, suitable colours and pictograms are required – It’s also imperative that the signage has a low reflectance to assist with any sensory and cognitive issues.
-
Internally, our team came up with wayfinding designs that complimented the buildings colour palette.
-
Each dementia-friendly colour is associated with an area of the building – ensuring it is an easy-to-follow system.
-
Our internal signage package also included tactile signs, projecting signs and a directory board.
-
Externally we supplied two sets of built-up letters to the entrances of the building and DDA manifestations, including profile cut white vinyl logos, to the glazing.
-
To complete the signage package, we also supplied emergency fire signage throughout the building.
