Types of Signs for Schools There are many different types of signs schools need to function efficiently: ADA Signs The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses and organizations including schools to provide accessible signs for all visitors, including those with disabilities. ADA signs must meet specific size, font, and braille requirements. Wayfinding / Directional Signs Wayfinding signs are designed to help visitors navigate your school or facility. These signs direct visitors to specific areas, such as the front office or cafeteria. And they play a big part on a large college campuses like the University of California, Davis. Institutions of this size are difficult to traverse and require elaborate wayfinding sign systems. They are often utilized in parking lots to direct drivers to pick up and drop off locations, direct traffic flow, and provide directions to exit routes. Informational Signs Informational signs provide visitors with important information about your schools, such as visitor check-in requirements, dress code, and department operation hours. Identification Signs Identification signs identify specific areas or rooms within your school, such as the library or gym. They are also found next to classroom doors to help students and faculty find the correct classroom easily. Channel Letter Signs Channel letter signs are three-dimensional letters used by schools outdoors to identify important building and areas like the gym or football stadium. They are found indoors to designate areas such as "counseling" or "financial aid office.” Channel letter signs display the school’s name, logos, or mascots across the side of the building. Illuminating them with front or backlighting makes them visible day or night. They also work well for labeling buildings like "Tech Services" or "Theatre Department." Monument Signs Monument signs are large, freestanding signs used to identify your school and provide directional information. They are often placed at the entrance of school campuses or near sports fields. Warning Signs Warning signs alert visitors to potential dangers, such as wet floors or construction areas. Schools must also have illuminated and easy-to-see emergency exit signs that will remain illuminated during a power outage either from an internal power source or another backup solution. LED Signs LED signs use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display information. LEDs produce millions of different colors and are used to create complex digital displays found in places like sports arenas and schools. These displays can be programmed to feature anything you can put on a TV or computer screen, including your school’s name, general information, school announcements, event schedules, emergency notifications, and much more.
