Old Port of Montréal

A popular destination for tourists and Montrealers alike, the Old Port of Montréal welcomes over 6 million people and over 2,000 events every year. Because the project extends over 2.5 km2 and offers more than 2,000 parking spaces, it was essential to align the signage to make it simpler to get around the area and improve the user experience.

Arium design was mandated to develop the outdoor wayfinding system for the Old Port of Montréal, as well as the indoor signage for the Montréal Science Centre and multilevel parking areas. The aim of this large-scale initiative was to align the signage to provide an optimal and intuitive user experience and highlight the local activities and events. Arium’s contribution makes it easier for visitors to find their way around the Old Port thanks to a coherent and pleasant user experience adapted to the area’s historical and dynamic atmosphere. The project helped modernize and simplify the signs in the Old Port to meet the needs of tourists and locals alike.
