Wayfinding Is Breaking Barriers

Well-designed wayfinding – signage and experiential graphics – are important components of any multi-functional community hub. It not only helps the public navigate within buildings, it really delivers so much more.

Working with Takeform, Gro helps YMCAs and other organizations operate with greater efficiency thanks to great wayfinding programs. Staffers spend less time directing traffic and more time helping members in other ways. Members spend less time searching and more time engaged in the activity that interests them most. Safety, emergency response, and accessibility are all supported by signage that is strategically designed and placed. It’s also good for the brand when there is a cohesive visual experience throughout the facility.

The Gro-Takeform relationship has created signage and branding for more than 30 YMCAs. It helps that Takeform has a stellar sustainability program – which includes 100% renewable energy drawn from Niagara Falls. 

But just as important, Gro’s procurement specialists work directly with a Y specialist at Takeform. This means the product is fine-tuned to the nature of the client. It also means Takeform pricing is discounted and design services are free.
