The main entrance

• The entrance stands out clearly and is illuminated. There is a canopy above the entrance.
• Pääsisäänkäynnin yhteydessä on älykäs äänimajakka, joka helpottaa liikkumista erityisesti näkövammaisille ja sokeille käyttäjille. Äänimajakan tunnistaa linnunlaulua muistuttavasta äänimerkistä, joka kertoo sisäänkäynnin oven sijainnin. MyMoveo-sovelluksen tai Okeenea-napin (kaukosäätimen) avulla käyttäjä voi aktivoida äänimajakan ja saada tarkempaa opastusta. Opastus kertoo myös sisätiloista, ohjaten turvallisesti eteenpäin sisäänkäynnin jälkeen.
