Waterfront Wayfinding Tool

Durham College students from the School of Media, Art & Design, under the supervision of faculty member Linda Cheng, designed a new interactive wayfinding tool to enhance visitor experiences along the Waterfront Trail. This began as a City Idea Lab course in the winter 2021 semester, and was further developed and prepared for launch during the spring and summer 2021 semesters by Durham College student Karan Bhandra, through an RBC Future Launch Student Leader Award. 

This technology builds on the success of a similar project at the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens that provides wayfinding and the ability for visitors to explore points of interest within the park.  

 The City looks forward to exploring further collaborations to develop interactive technology at additional locations in the future.
