About this file
This is a Wayfinding and Signage Standards Manual prepared for Harris Health System, a fully integrated healthcare system serving Harris County, Texas, comprising two major hospitals (Ben Taub Hospital and Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital), 23 community health centers, five school-based clinics, and various other healthcare facilities. The manual establishes comprehensive system-wide interior, exterior, and parking garage signage standards to be applied to all renovations and new construction projects within the Harris Health System facilities. The document details 53 interior sign types, 9 parking garage sign types, and supplemental exterior signage specifications, each with precise technical drawings, measurements, mounting specifications, material requirements, color standards, and placement guidelines. The signage system incorporates bilingual (English/Spanish) messaging, universal healthcare symbols and iconography, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance including Grade II Braille and raised characters, and five color-coded elevator identification systems (blue, green, purple, yellow, and orange). The standards address wayfinding through multiple sign categories including directional signs, room identification, department identification, safety warnings, emergency signage, and information inserts, all designed to simplify navigation for patients, visitors, and staff while creating visual consistency across the healthcare system's facilities.
The signage standards utilize a standardized material palette including aluminum bar stock, acrylic panels, vinyl graphics, and polycarbonate inserts with specific paint colors coordinated to Harris Health System's established brand colors (PMS 540C for primary blue, PMS 185 for emergency red, and various accent colors). The manual incorporates ADA compliance requirements per the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and references applicable life safety codes including the National Fire Protection Code (NFPA 101 Life Safety Code) and local fire codes for mandatory signage such as emergency exit identification, fire door notifications, stairwell identification, and evacuation mapping. All signage incorporates Harris Health System branding standards with prescribed logo usage, typography guidelines specifying Roboto and Myriad Pro fonts, and clear space requirements. The document serves as the internal standard for sign procurement, fabrication, and installation across Harris Health System's multiple facilities, eliminating temporary or inconsistent departmental signage ordering while establishing a comprehensive record for future signage modifications and inventory management.

Harris Health System is a fully integrated healthcare system that cares for all residents of Harris County, Texas. Harris Health System is the first accredited healthcare institution in Harris County to be designated by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home and is one of the largest systems in the country to achieve the quality standard. The system includes 23 community health centers, five (5) school-based clinics, a dental center and dialysis center, mobile health units, a rehabilitation and specialty hospital, and two (2) full-service hospitals.
Ben Taub Hospital is a world-renowned Level I Trauma Center with 586 licensed acute-care beds and provides a wide range of specialty care outpatient services. Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital is a 328 licensed bed acute-care hospital with a newly expanded Level III trauma center and a distinguished regional center for neonatal intensive care for high-risk deliveries. Harris Health System is a teaching system for Baylor College of Medicine and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). Harris Health System trains the next generation of healthcare providers on the latest medical procedures and technological breakthroughs.
To assist patients and visitors, Harris Health System has established system-wide interior and exterior signage standards to be applied to all renovations and new construction. The goal of the program is to provide consistency in image, meet code restrictions, foster wayfinding, utilize universal means of communication and supplement English messages with Spanish sub-titles to make messages comprehensive, clear, and concise.
As visitors and patients are under a high-stressed frame of mind, the simplification of movement through what can be an intimidating series of maze-like streets and corridors is imperative for a customer-friendly atmosphere.
Inclusive signage is key to provide direction to destinations to all populations providing cues to the visual, hearing, and physically impaired through compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Braille signage and placement of signage has been considered in the development of the new signage standards to provide comfort and consistency when traversing the facility. Elderly populations were also considered for placement and color perception, scale, and mobility.
As many outpatients and visitors are required to circulate between floors and departments, it is imperative that the sign program interconnects destinations, provides clear direction both to and from a point of ingress and identifies an appropriate means of both horizontal and vertical circulation in and around the campus, parking garages and lots and buildings.
The key to solving major issues within any health facility is to simplify messages and provide consistent cues to individual destinations, creating a sense of place. The signage committee considered best practices in wayfinding simplifying it for those utilizing Harris Health’s facilities. The program has been established to be easy to comprehend from the public’s perspective and easy to plan from an internal management standpoint.
The use of the following standards manual is divided into several categories including, elevations, mounting details, fabrication methods and use. The sign types elevated are intended to provide a comprehensive standard for how and when to use certain sign types and the appropriateness of content and messaging. This document, though detailed, is not intended to present an all-inclusive list of sign types as unique situations will arise. In these instances, best practices based on the program should be applied.
A goal of the program is to eliminate temporary signage or inconsistent signage designs being ordered by departmental staff without going through the appropriate internal ordering procedures. This will eliminate sign clutter, inconsistency in language, colors, fonts, materials and mounting locations.
The standards considered high-trafficked areas where the public congregates to obtain information from reception staff, directories or other forms of communication to find particular destinations and services.

Lyndon B. Johnson Public Elevator Stacking
As many elevators in Ben Taub and LBJ do not access all levels, it is key to direct users to the appropriate bank of elevators to find their way to levels above and below grade.
To do this, a series of icons was developed that are associated with each elevator and color-coded. This serves as a wayfinding tool, but also will speak to multiple languages through the use of iconography.

Elevator Level Identification Graphics
Sign Type 1
Each elevator bank will utilize a digitally printed wall vinyl from floor to ceiling with a protective laminate overlay. Additionally, elevator doors will receive vertical striping indicating the level in both English and Spanish. The icons for the fish, sun, flower, stars, and tree will be used as well.
As each elevator bank is unique in architecture and configuration, precise measurements should be taken allowing for variances in wall space, elevator door widths, and other items like call buttons and floor indicators.

Lobbies of hospitals with multiple elevators and adequate space should utilize the main feature wall directory. This is intended to provide color-coding, icons, and destinations to be found on each level by elevator. For the main level, a map of the main corridors and a list of key destinations would appear in the first column. The rest of the elevator bands of colors reiterates the elevator color, name in both English and Spanish, icon and a complete list of destinations limited to that elevator. Destinations are alphabetized by level in white, with any Emergency destinations indicated in red.

Lobby Directory (Small)
At each elevator bank, an elevator directory should be located to reinforce the destinations that can be reached by using this bank. Mounting locations should be, if at all possible near the call buttons. In instances of highly-trafficked areas or double-sided lobbies, two elevator directories may be used, one on either side of the elevator lobby.

Sign Type 5
Elevation 2
This sign is similar to sign type 05, with the exception of its size. The smaller elevator directory should be used in situations where one or two cabs make up the elevator bank and there is limited space available.
This sign type can also be used inside of an elevator cab to assist as a reminder of the appropriate level at which a particular destination is located.

Sign Type 6
Elevation 3
A series of overhead sign types have been created to accommodate variations and limitations in architecture. The over the soffit sign type is intended to provide direction to elevator banks with the use of iconography and color-coding. In instances where one is to traverse through a set of doors along a corridor, this sign type is to be used to encourage traffic flow. Directional arrows are used on this sign to point to the correct path of travel. Only the symbols for elevator, icons, and arrows can be displayed on these sign types, which are supplemental to any overhead directional signage.
