Landmarks are used everyday to provide direction; it can be as simple as "Make a left at Kesey Square" or as common as "Meet me at the Hult Center".

In addition to providing directions, landmarks are also helpful for establishing a person's orientation, especially in an exterior environment where architectural features, landscaping and physical elements help to position us in unfamiliar territory.

Observations: The City of Eugene offers many Wall Murals Park Blocks (Eugene Saturday Bike Corrals landmark features including: beautiful Market) sculptural elements at Kesey Square and the Amtrak Station; wall murals that pop-up around the Downtown; important architectural destinations like the Hult Center and the new Public Library; and special park and natural features in Downtown like Skinner Butte Park, the climbing columns, and the Willamette River.

Recommendations: The design of the wayfinding system should take advantage of the inclusion to the artful landmarks and provide opportunities in its components to Kesey Square Skinner Butte Park Streetscape Sculptural Elements incorporate local art, be it graphic or sculptural.

Orientation marks should feature 3D representations of local art and landmarks to help provide cues and orientation to users. (see map on previous page)

Long-Term Measurements: Upon a substantial completion of the wayfinding system, follow-up customer satisfaction information can be gathered.

In addition there is tourism and transportation data that can be analyzed and associated with the wayfinding system. Understanding that wayfinding is a component of an overall strategy it can be separated into results that may be attributed directly or indirectly to its effectiveness.

Some of this information currently exists and is tracked by either the City, a local association, such as the Visitors Center, or an individual destination.
