WHO WE ARE

Atkins’ Pedestrian, Cycling and Space Planning team provides an award-winning wayfinding design service.

Our ethos is to encourage and support sustainable and active travel modes through the creation of high quality, legible and integrated public spaces.

The team has over 12 years of experience working on some of the most innovative and exciting wayfinding projects in the UK and internationally. Our work encompasses a wide range of environments including town and city centres, transport interchanges, rail stations, airports, universities, shopping centres and complex buildings and estates.

Atkins’ success in delivering high quality wayfinding solutions across the UK and overseas has been made possible through the holistic and user centred approach applied consistently across all our projects.

We design with the end user in mind, using our unrivalled understanding of pedestrian movement behaviour and knowledge of how people navigate unfamiliar environments. We ensure this methodology is adopted throughout all the steps of our work; from initial strategy and concept stages through to detailed design, fabrication, installation and maintenance.

Our team comprises specialists from a wide range of disciplines including environmental graphic designers, space planners, urban designers, engineers, and transport planners. In addition, we are supported by experienced architects, town planners, conservation and heritage consultants, accessibility and inclusivity specialists, human factors engineers, digital specialists, product designers and branding consultants from both the wider Atkins group and long-standing design partners.

We are members of the Society for Experiential Graphic Design, the Sign Design Society, the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation.
