Coordinated wayfinding

How a Coordinated Wayfinding System Is Planned

Metroplus works from the consultant or client wayfinding design, coordinating sign families, locations, bilingual artwork and fabrication details so the system installs as intended across the building. The wayfinding strategy, statutory and fire-safety sign requirements and authority approvals remain with the appointed consultant and the relevant authority; Metroplus supports them with drawings, samples, fabrication and installation.

Visitor journeys

Arrival, decision points and destinations are checked on plan so each sign appears where people need it.

Sign types and location schedules

A sign-family matrix and location schedule record each sign type, message, size and fixing.

Arabic and English layouts

Bilingual artwork is set out for legibility, hierarchy and consistent alignment across the family.

Samples and installation

Prototype samples are approved before production, then installation is sequenced with the fit-out programme.

Wayfinding UAE

Wayfinding Strategy, Design and Installation in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

A wayfinding system is planned before it is drawn. We analyse the routes visitors take, the decision points along them and the names used for destinations, then build a sign family of identification, directional, orientation and regulatory signs that work together.

The strategy becomes a sign location plan and message schedule that architects, consultants and contractors can price and approve. We then fabricate and install the system, including illuminated and digital elements, for malls, hospitals, offices, residential communities, car parks, schools and public spaces across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.

Route and decision-point analysis

Site visits and plan reviews identify where people make decisions and what information they need at that point.

Sign family design

Directories, totems, hanging, projecting and wall signs designed as one family with consistent typography and pictograms.

Bilingual messaging

Arabic and English message schedules with agreed terminology and hierarchy.

Interactive wayfinding

Touch screen kiosks and digital directories where destinations change often or the building is complex.
