Committee debates wayfinding scheme to help visitors locate names on wall
Summary
Members discussed a proposed numbering scheme (wall/panel/column labels, bottom-up numbering) and possible brass or bronze markers, and considered adding a searchable lookup for visitors; members asked staff to develop detailed specs and counts for vendor estimates.
A committee member proposed a standardized wayfinding and numbering scheme to make it easier for visitors to locate names on the memorial walls: number walls and panels, label rows/columns (counting from the bottom), and add small brass or bronze markers at the ends of walls. "we could have individual columns," the member said when explaining the column/row approach.
Members weighed maintenance trade-offs (painted engraved letters fade; brass/bronze may weather) and discussed options for an online searchable lookup keyed to the wall and panel numbers. The committee asked a member to count columns and return size/format recommendations so staff can request vendor cost estimates.
