must be respected both on and off the specific facility site.
Any signage must also be harmonious in the landscape. Care must
be taken to use signs only when necessary and to restrict the use
of random styles, placement, and colors. Prepare a Signage
Manual to instruct the activity in maintenance of the signage
system and provide specialized equipment and materials necessary
for same. Place emphasis on directional signage to immediately
familiarize trainees with the room names and numbers. Wall-
mounted signs extending into the corridor will indicate room
identifications from a distance and greatly enhance efficient
access to the appropriate rooms.
a) Entrance Sign. Entrance signs at roadway, walkway and/or building entry point may be necessary to introduce the facility to visitors including the handicapped. Position entrance signs for visibility. Entrance signs should clearly identify the building name, function, number, and organization, and should be consistent with the installation's overall signage system. Often, several building entry signs are required to identify those activities that may be reached via a specific entry point when a building has more than one primary entrance.
b) Building Identification Sign. Facility identification signs identify a building by name and number. Design identification signs as part of the overall signage system of an installation, using freestanding signs and/or wall mounted signs. Locate and size building identification signs for visibility from the main access street. Coordinate building numbers with the Public Works Office and according to fire
service requirements, and position at standard locations on the building.
c) Building Directory. Locate a building directory where it is clearly visible to visitors as they enter the building. The building directory should consist of a permanent header panel with the name of the building or the major organization in the building, plus a directory section that lists each tenant. Provide a changeable letter board with changeable letters or message slots for the directory section. In large facilities, a building locator plan to identify building spaces, key activities, and personnel may be a necessary addition to the directory. Locate floor or building section directories to be clearly visible to pedestrians entering from elevators, stairs,
or major corridors.
