Alberta Hospital Ponoka Wayfinding Signage Program
This hospital site is a campus-like complex in a parkland setting south of Ponoka. The architectural organization of spaces, the single-story character of treatment buildings, their residential-like finishes, and plans that optimize daylight entry into rooms are important features of the facility design.
Planning for the Ottawa Airport wayfinding system was based on a methodical approach to scale, distribution, and placement of information and its relationship to the end user or passenger.
The recently completed Ottawa Airport in Canada's national capital aims to ease passenger stress by creating humane spaces that reflect the nature of the region and make it easy to find one's way.
Established in 1908, the University of Alberta celebrated its centennial anniversary in September 2008. The original campus master plan was developed in 1910 when the Montreal architectural firm Nobbs and Hyde was hired to design the campus and its buildings. Campus development was interrupted for many years due to World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II, and the original architectural vision was essentially lost during the post-WWII building boom.
