Capital Kiosk hits 95% review; 'find your way' maps deferred to November

Project staff told the subcommittee that Package 3 of the Capital Kiosk activation — including "Find your meeting," "Find my legislator," historical points of interest, a dome-drone exploration and a children’s Capital quest — is in 95% file-stage review and ready for committee feedback. Christina, the kiosk lead, said the file-stage content will be deployed to kiosks once the subcommittee approves the 95% review, but she noted that the find-your-way maps and full wayfinding package will be held until a November subcommittee review before activation. "In that review, you will be reviewing…Once that is approved in file stage, this will be deployed to the kiosks," Christina said. Staff reported that the constitution kiosk is already deployed in the historic Supreme Courtroom and that additional kiosk monitors and surrounds have been installed at several public points inside the Capitol: one near the Esther Hobart Morris statue in the extension, two on the garden level entrances and another on the first level south side near the docent office. Committee members asked for a small temporary topper or acrylic sign for the historical Supreme Courtroom testimony table to direct visitors to the tucked kiosk so visitors do not miss it while tours or meetings are occurring. DI staff said they will share the file-stage link with the committee for a one-week review window and incorporate core-team feedback before pushing the content live in October. The find-your-way waypoint maps will be part of a separate subcommittee review in November and will be activated in the kiosks only after that approval. Discussion vs. decision: staff sought approval to finalize the 95% content and deploy it; the committee offered edits and requested additional temporary signage to highlight deployed kiosks. No formal motions or votes were recorded in the transcript. Next steps: DI will circulate the file-stage link for the 95% review, accept one-week feedback, incorporate changes and then deploy the package to kiosks with the wayfinding maps to follow after November’s separate review.
