Guiding Principles 3. SUSTAINABILITY INTENT Support overall sustainable goal of TTC Minimize waste and redundancy Reduce maintenance cost while extending signage life-cycle DESIGN STRATEGY Use sustainable materials where possible Use low energy consumptive technologies Consider electronic content management versus physical change-out Encourage the use of local vendors
Guiding Principles 4. Aesthetics INTENT Present TTC as a state-of-the art facility and compelling patron experience Clear and consistent look/brand for ease of use Incorporate location-based technologies in effort to reinforce seamless integration of signage and architecture DESIGN STRATEGY Material, color palette and detailing compatible and supportive of the building's architecture Selection of graphic language to extend and reinforce the TTC brand experience
