A Helping Hand
The staff were keen to introduce some local aspects to the designs, not only to give the illustrations a sense of location but to create a talking point for them when they were with their patients; a useful device for young children in need a distraction.
Wayfinding was integrated into the scheme guiding visitors around the space and pointing the way.
