Proposed parameters for visitor' attraction

The new visitor attraction complex offers the potential for an innovative design (including interior design) appropriate for such an attraction. The internal layout should permit a smooth flow of visitors through the attraction and the various facilities, to assist them in appreciating the attraction and its contents, and to enhance their knowledge of the subjects being presented to them.

The new building must be safe and all appropriate measures must be taken to ensure the safety of visitors. The scheme must cater for persons with special needs and for young children. As regards this aspect, reference should be made to the guidelines published by MEPA entitled "Access for All".

The design of the building must take into consideration factors that will minimise adverse impact on the environment. These include water conservation, waste reduction, efficient use of materials, energy saving devices, etc. A high level of design quality, detailing and construction finish must be achieved. All air conditioning units, water tanks, or other similar structures must either be contained within the building or be hidden within an appropriately designed structure.
