Schools and colleges–they’re generally large facilities that see hundreds, if not thousands, of people each day. From students and parents to teachers and administrators, there are a lot of people to communicate with. Clearly, it can get overwhelming, and if not done promptly or accurately, it can create miscommunication. Fortunately, the right signs on campus can help make communication easier and faster. The following are some of the many popular signage options most college, university, and school campuses consider. Directory Signs Finding one’s way on a school campus can be confusing, time-consuming, and sometimes a little frustrating. Make it easier and faster for your beloved students to navigate a large, busy campus with convenient directory signs pointing them in the right direction. Whether it be finding the school office, restrooms, or a particular academic building or set of classroom numbers, a directory sign can play an active role on campus daily. This allows for less staff interaction with students and better ensures students make it to class on time. Pylon Signs Many schools and higher education facilities have a large pylon sign with the school’s name and logo on it. This adds to the overall branding of the school, makes the campus appear more professional, and helps reassure new students and visitors they’ve found the right place. Digital Message Boards Have a lot to say or need to occasionally switch messages out? A digital message board might be the right sign for you. These signs are easy to update, allow for plenty of text on screen at a time, and can offer a slideshow effect to switch over to another message if you need to display different messages. School digital message boards are popular for communicating big announcements, upcoming events, and other important information. This may include reminders about holiday closures or minimum days, an upcoming field trip, or sports-related events like tryouts and on-campus games. Vinyl Window Graphics Whether the goal is to inform or decorate, there’s a window graphic for this. Help students get into the school spirit with vinyl graphics on the gym or cafeteria windows, add privacy to the windows of an exam or storage room, or add hour decals to the school office’s window or door. ADA-Compliant Signs In most cases, ADA signage is required on educational grounds. It’s more than just a legal obligation; it’s a necessity, a kind gesture, and an act of hospitality. Ensuring your students and staff with disabilities feel welcome and accepted on campus is a big move, and it can all be done with ADA signs to make navigation and functionality easier. On school grounds, ADA-compliant signage is often used for labeling bathrooms, room numbers on doors, exits, stairs, and elevators, and parking lots. Is your school or college in need of signs?
