Roundhouse Design Guidelines - Victoria

• Create possibility for public to see the Dayliner at rest and being
maintained.
• Use the operational tracks that run through the site as a resource to be
interpreted as to current and possible future use.
• Install some smaller artifacts, from a railroad speeder to hand tools, to
dress selected areas of the site and buildings.
• Create sculptural installation to echo the people and events of the past.
• Use large scale graphics to provide backdrops and sets for other activities.
• Create smaller interpretive graphic panels to tell stories in a compact
format and install in non-intrusive but easily located places.
• Use the turntable as a focus feature in the main plaza. Animate it as a special
event (e.g. rotating at specific times on the weekends and on holidays).
• Recreated site landmarks: water tower, sand tower, signals.
• Design artifacts and interpretive features to be welcoming and engaging for
all age groups including interactive opportunities for children.
