Migrating event space inquiries without breaking the past
With event space inquiries, visitors following years-old links land somewhere useful.
What the venue had before
On a plan, what is already there is drawn dashed and what is new is drawn solid. This is the dashed part: how theater foyer and studio hire venue handled it before the work started.
The starting point
Years of sharing had embedded the old event space inquiries addresses in emails, leaflets and directories. The planned rebuild would move most of them.
Where it went wrong
When it comes to event space inquiries, every unmoved address was a dead end waiting for a returning visitor. Without an inventory, the risk could not even be sized.
What we built
The team cataloged the old addresses, assigned each one a relevant new destination and reviewed the full mapping before launch. The new reference page covers room capacities and the weather contingency plan, with navigation labels matching the revised structure.
