Hi Lynn
My local hospital, the Royal Berkshire Hospital, has different shapes on the floor, in various colours, which are "decision points" where you decide in which direction you wish to go.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8369420.stm - if you can watch videos, you get a bit of an idea on this one.
I think each department is also in a different colour scheme (in the newer parts, the same goes for the floor patterns).
Also, my "alma mater", Lord Mayor Treloar College, had different floor colours and wall colours for different parts of the school - but I've not gone back for a long while! It's all gone a bit posh since I left... http://www.treloar.org.uk/
Regards,
Helen

Subject: Way finding - Floor signs
Hi
Does anyone know of any examples of where the floor has been used to help
with way finding? For example, following coloured lines, changes in colour
of surface, use of symbols or tactile indicators. Also, does anyone know if
there are they any guidelines on this?
Any help would be much appreciated
Regards
Lynn
