Stourbridge Bus Station nears completion
Having created the bus station signage plan for Centro to write their tender for the construction contract at the end of 2010, FWT was called back to devise all the internal and external signage.
The October 2010 plans detailed contents and locations of all wayfinding aspects for quantity purchasing purposes. At the end of 2011, with construction advancing, we were commissioned to provide full-size dimension drawings for sign manufacture throughout. These were accompanied by detailed fixing instructions and materials to be used. In order for it all to come together, a large scale site plan was produced, with all signs having a reference number and annotation to the plan. The manufacturers and site foreman would need this to ensure each sign went to the correct location and faced the correct way. We also liaised with the manufacturers to ensure the brand guidelines were fully adhered to.
The signage not only encompassed the bus station catchment, but also extended to a complex town centre subway, feeding in both directions. The bus station is due to open soon.
