Map of Innoventions/Communicore layout?

[MarkTwain]

Sorry to take this to the main forum, but would anyone happen to have a floorplan or other document showing the layout of the Innoventions buildings? I'm not as concerned specifically with the individual exhibits, as the relationships between the different functions like MouseGear/Electric Umbrella/Character Spot vs. the Innoventions exhibition space itself. Bonus points if you know where to find a Communicore map for comparison.

I've tried the usual places and I can't find anything. I'm working on an independent design project and this would be most helpful. Thanks!

All I can find, not much help though I guess.

Hey, thanks anyway. That's definitely the best I've seen so far.

Martin should have it..I recall seeing a map of how Communicore/Innoventions has changed on his tribute video..

I still have the stills from those edits

Communicore

Innoventions v1 1994

I need to do a v2 one too I guess!

Thank you Martin! This is interesting, many of the changes were different than I would expected. I didn't realize that the present day Innoventions used so much of the northern buildings - it looks as if Innoventions occupies a much larger area than Communicore did.

Also, assuming this is still accurate, it looks like the shape of MouseGear hardly changed at all between Centorium and MouseGear. I for some reason was under that MouseGear was smaller, but I suppose the only square footage lost from Centorium was the upper floor.

EDIT: On second thought, I know in modern MouseGear, you can enter the shop from the Test Track side of the building, which this schematic doesn't show. Maybe it did change after all?

You're welcome. Innoventions has more floorspace in the western building due to the 1994 extension. In the east what was Travelport is now one flat space around Stormstruck. Whereas Communicore had its level changes and associated ramps, stairs, planters and railings Innoventions is as we know one flat space with no division and more usable space (or not as the case may be)

Regarding Mousegear, remember that Centorium existed well into the last 90s. The layout changes and demolition of Futurehoice only happened circa 1998-9 and thus aren't reflected in the diagram I posted from 1994. The additional entrance in question was added then.

Also, whilst Mousegear tragically swallowed the breezeways, hallways and the theatre itself of the south east quarter it also lost floorspace in the removal of most of the mezzanine and the area around the elevator. Part of the mezzanine and the elevator shaft from 1982 still exist but are now backstage areas of the store.
