Finding your way around a college campus is difficult and can be maze-like when trying to find a specific building or classroom. FASTSIGNS® of Mesa, AZ creates signs to help visitors find their way, identify classrooms, and supply essential information.
Common Signs for School and College Campuses
Schools and universities need signs to operate efficiently. Some signs we make for schools include:
- ADA Signs: Needed on all campuses to help people with disabilities navigate the grounds. ADA signs have specific size, font, and braille requirements our sign experts are trained to manage while adhering to your custom specifications.
- Parking Signs: These are necessary for keeping traffic flowing smoothly on your campus. They also communicate the need for a parking pass or where and how to pay for parking.
- Wayfinding Signs: They help visitors find their way around your campus. They are also crucial for the staff and students. No one wants to get lost on a large campus like Arizona State University. We create signs to help people find their way to the library, cafeteria, classrooms, offices, and the Memorial Union.
- Monument Signs: A fantastic way to make a big first impression. Monument signs give your school’s name a professional look and can include other sign elements such as channel letters, back-lit lettering, or an LED display screen.
- Identification Signs: Help visitors find your school and identify specific buildings on campus such as student services and the financial aid office
What Signs are Required for Schools?
There are various signs needed for schools, including:
- Fire Exit Signs: All buildings must have illuminated fire exit signs and meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
- Emergency Evacuation Maps: These are required in all buildings on campus and must be placed near exits. They show the evacuation route for the building.
- First Aid Signs: Found in hallways to show the location of first aid.
- Restroom Signs: All restrooms must have signs meeting the requirements of the ADA.
- No Smoking Signs: These signs must be posted in all buildings on campus to designate areas where smoking is not allowed.
