EXPERIENCE

Nanjing Metro Signage and Information Centre Design (2013)

Atkins supported the redesign of Nanjing Metro’s wayfinding and signage standards as part of the major expansion of the complex metro network in Nanjing, China. The review included identifying design and content recommendations for improving sign legibility and overall system consistency, including naming conventions and a glossary of terms for a dual language system. In addition, the commission included the development of information boards to include local area maps and station layout diagrams to aid passenger journeys inside and outside the stations. Our work included on-site audits and workshops with the client team to identify solutions that not only met existing design standards, but also responded to local requirements.
