I was testing the wayfinding by trying to have my daughter find the airport train. So many signs only say UP which is ridiculous. Thankfully there seems to be some realization that the picture of an airplane is an important detail. Still, none of these align to the wayfinding standards created by Metrolinx with an overly detailed airplane showing flaps, or a GO engine of a certain model and time.
No doubt explained by the fact that the 'complex' has many owners and operators who clearly do not communicate as much as would be desirable!
I think they ARE trying but the fact that construction is (despite the mayor's statement) NOT yet over can hardly help. The City has appointed an experienced Manager of the complex - patience!
Nope. It's not completed until we tear out all the new fixtures for further renovation. Give it another year or two
The airport in general follows a proper wayfinding standard. No stylized train symbols, no stylized airplane, no crazy font irregularities. They looked at international standards when they were building T1-New and put a priority on it. They had test passenger volunteers from the general public find their way around the terminal to confirm their success or drive changes. They made note of every passenger that got lost or was not able to complete their journey in a reasonable amount of time.
These areas are, I think, both 'commercial' and thus their fitting out is up to Osmington, the head leasee. I wonder if the one with the TD signage ("new home") is going to be their new bank branch?
