OUGD405 - Study Task 01 - Trinity Research

Trinity is the biggest shopping centre in Leeds, with over 120 shops, bars and restaurants; spreading across three floors there is a multitude of signage deployed within the building. At regular intervals across the ceiling and at important junctions there are hanging signs indicating exit routes, car parks and access point to other floors.



Next to each entrance and at the top and bottom of each escalator are more detailed free standing signs with a floor map for each level and a key of shops, and a list of streets that are accessible from each floor. Each free standing sign is marked with an 'information' symbol.






Each level is colour coded (green for lower ground, yellow for ground and blue for level 1), making navigation quicker and simpler.















On the lower ground level there are large vinyl letters in the window of one of the main entrances, clearly defining what floor customers are on. However there is an inconsistency as this is the only floor to display these letters.
