This one is for the St-Laurent Centre, which is located along St. It is located on Laurent Boulevard in Ottawa. Their transit station is adjacent to it.
There are three published level (lower floor, main shopping floor, and upper floor). It does not plan your train or bus route. After arriving, it tells you how far to walk from whichever escalator you need. It also tells you what level of the mall the store is on. Maybe you got off between levels, and now the shop you want is still two floors away.
Quick path: In the top-left search box, you can center the view, change the level, and verify the plate before stepping onto the first escalator. No need to ride one just because you’re used to it.
Errand (no name yet): The sidebar is for an errand that does not have a name yet. Separate lists exist for fashion, food, electronics, beauty, sport and services. Yellow shape opens description like from list entry. You can zoom with the buttons at the lower right or with the scroll wheel.
Readable view: On phone, full screen’s enough to see who’s on what floor without having to memorize the stack of floors. Level controls is at the upper right. While that’s the majority of the mall, it’s not everything.
St-Laurent Centre Directory Map
Most people begin on the main floor. That’s where H&M and Shoppers Drug Mart will point you to aim your walk across that plate. Even if you entered the mall at a different level, a department-store trip might require an elevator or stairs up to Hudson’s Bay (upper level). The directory shows Sport Chek on multiple level. Look for the name; trust the level the directory shows first. Don’t expect the store you recall to be next to the same escalator.
A typical trip is brief: One anchor and a quick stop elsewhere, maybe grabbing something to eat if there’s time. Between those stops, there’s a break for a cup of coffee at Tim Hortons on the upper floor. Read the note if you’re going to sit down for lunch. Some listings are just announcements, so the directory might not show today’s actualy hours.
The other common missed stop is electronics and services. They might be on the same floor as the clothing shop you’re seeking. However, a repair shop is different from a case booth, and a case booth is different than a carrier counter. The pharmacy and clinics is their own errands/appointments.
Get your stops by category first, then by level; get two so that you don’t climb up above the main floor only to come back down. A department-store errand at the top and a sporting-goods errand below are a vertical trip. If done out of order, you double-cross the main floor. Before you go anywhere else, order a second stop. That’s especially true if the department store is upstairs and the pharmacy is downstairs. Then you only ride past the place you forgot about once, after coming back down. The same applies when the clothing shop that got you into the mall is on one plate, while the sport equipment is on another.
Slow to draw, yes, but faster than taking an extra escalator. That pause at the directory is worth it in Ottawa winters. A bad route indoors doesn’t get any better outside; people prefer just to keep walking inside instead of crossing the boulevard all over again.
When two people meet here, pick a level then throw a big pin down. Inside the mall” isn’t specific enough if the station can drop you halfway up, meaning one person might go upstairs while the other stays on the main level. For that, we have the directory, even if neither of you need anything else off the list.
Holiday hours change faster than this drawing, as do leases, so be sure to check which stores makes the trip worthwhile before going for the escalator. The level button is the part of the map that saves you the most time in this building.
You should of checked the map first. It would of helped. The directory can be actualy helpful. It looks more moddern than it used to.
