Wayfinder Systems

IADT Dun Laoghaire - Murray O’Laoire Architects

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:45:25 +0000

Working with the Estates Office we have been pleased to provide signage for many of the buildings on Campus including the Media Cube.

The main interior system used is the MG Pacific (curved) System with raised cut out letters where appropriate.

In the Media Cube Building flexibility was a major factory and so the MG Pacific Paperflex came into it’s own.

Over the years traffic flow, user behaviour, site analysis have all contributed to the development of the Wayfinding needed and sign types selected.

Corporate identity is all important when choosing external signs here the MG Pacific system gives a very pleasing professional image of the overall facility.

Safety and durability are design elements critical in public environments, with hygiene and ease of maintenance essential.

“Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit
Reminders of order, calm and continuity,
Lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold,
Light nor dark. In any library in the world, I am at home,
Unselfconscious, still and absorbed”
Greer 1989
