Visitor Centre Evolution
Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich
This project brought together site-wide interpretive themes through an exhibition evolution and refit to tell the full story of the Old Royal Naval College. Our pragmatic approach to the layout of the building and updated signage have improved the entrance sequence providing a clearer route for visitors.

Captivating visitors from the offset
We are currently working with the Old Royal Naval College, part of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, to deliver a raft of strategic communication interventions. This visitor centre is a key arrival point for visitors at Greenwich, making it a priority for us to ensure the message and navigation of the space is clear and accessible.
Bringing history up to date
Our approach involved revisiting the existing interpretation panels and navigation of the space, bringing everything up to date and delivering a holistic visual approach to the visitor experience. We have updated key elements of the visitor centre to ensure that the core interpretive messages of the whole site history are communicated clearly. A much neater and clear navigation area and interpretation facilitates the visitor journey and helps staff members to explain the wide offer this World Heritage Site has for visitors.
