A new interpretive signage program for Bridgepoint Health’s expanded health-care facilities in downtown Toronto is paying tribute to the history of the site, which includes the Don Jail heritage building.

Toronto-based environmental graphic design (EGD) firm Entro, which has also provided wayfinding signage and donor recognition programs for Bridgepoint, designed the interpretive panels (pictured) to complement the décor and existing signs. Each tells a different story about the jail, which now serves as Bridgepoint’s administrative offices for active health care. The jail’s east wing closed in 2013, was demolished earlier this year and will become landscaped open space in the near future.

As construction on the hospital grounds is completed, further interpretive signs will be installed outdoors, too.
