This is an Interior Design Intent document and specification guide prepared by Corbin Design for Hudson Valley Community College, establishing comprehensive design standards and fabrication requirements for interior signage and wayfinding systems for the ATEC Building located in New York. The document outlines detailed specifications for multiple sign types including main directories (wall-mounted and freestanding), guide signs, identification signs, notice holder frames, overhead identification and flag signage, and regulatory signs. The signage system incorporates standardized typography (Frutiger font family), a defined color palette (dark gray, gray, dark green, light green, white, and wave pattern accents), and ADA-compliant materials and mounting heights. All signage must meet 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design requirements, including tactile characters and Grade 2 Braille where applicable. The fabricator is responsible for engineering structural integrity, site verification, removal of existing signage, installation coordination, and maintaining current directional information during the transition period.

The specifications require the fabricator to use approved manufacturers including Matthews Paint Company or Akzo Nobel for paint, 3M or Oracal for vinyl, and specified acrylic and aluminum suppliers. All fabrication must include a minimum five-year extended warranty on paint applications and eight-year warranty on vinyl applications, with a full five-year replacement warranty covering defects in materials and craftsmanship. The fabricator must submit detailed shop drawings stamped by a state-registered engineer, material samples, keystroke proofs, and a fabrication schedule allowing minimum 15 business days for owner review. All signage materials must be new (not reconditioned), fabricated to withstand vandalism and theft attempts, and must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal codes including fire and life safety requirements. The fabricator is responsible for disposal of existing signage with recycling recommended, and must maintain all project files for a minimum of 10 years following completion to enable future sign reordering.

Main Directories Guide Signs

Guide signs are located at building intersections, building transitions, and along corridors to direct to nearby destinations and amenities. At the top of the guide sign, the building is listed, and the footer highlights the current floor.

Destinations should be listed in the following arrow group order: left, right, then straight ahead.

Destinations within each arrow group should be listed alphabetically. Each arrow grouping should be separated by a colored rule line. Universal symbols should be right justified on the corresponding line for the associated destination/amenity.

The G-1 large guide sign has room for up to 10 lines of text, while the G-2 small guide sign has room for up to 8 lines of text.

See pages 19-22

Overhead IDs are used to identify high-level public destinations in areas where wall-mounted signs are not practical, or the sign needs to be seen from a distance. Overhead IDs are also programmed at all main academic department offices along with the I-1a.

Overhead Guides provide direction to high-level public destinations and amenities in areas where wall mounted guides are not practical or when the sign needs to be seen from a distance in high traffic areas, such as Siek Campus Center.

See pages 39-42

Overhead flags are used to direct or indicate the location of a high-level public destination using universal symbols and/or messaging. Overhead flags with messages are prominently used in Marvin Library and Guenther Enrollment Services Center. Flag signs can be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, or cable-suspended depending on what is necessary for the specific location.

Frequently, they are used to identify elevators and restrooms.

See pages 43-45

Similar in design to the identification signs, this painted acrylic sign is intended to provide regulatory information. ADA requires that these signs appear at all restroom and stair entrances.

See pages 38-41

There are five available sizes for interior identification signs in the Hudson Valley sign program. The I-1 large room ID should be used at primary destinations. The I-1a (not pictured) should be used at academic department offices, with the N-1 notice insert installed below to serve as a faculty directory listing all of the staff within the department and their office room number. Initially, visitors/students are directed towards the academic department and then to offices via room range.

Depending on available space, the I-2 and I-3 can be used for primary and secondary destinations, offices, and large classrooms. The I-4 Classroom ID should be used for those classrooms where only the architectural room number is identified. It is the only identification sign that does not have an insert.

See pages 23-30

Notice holder frames can hold either 8.5x11 or 11x17 inserts and are ideal for locations where information may change frequently. When possible, inserts should be printed on a thicker paper with UV inks to increase longevity. N-1 inserts have been programmed near elevators to act as elevator directories. The N-2 can be programmed as a guide sign when space is not available for the full width of a traditional guide sign. These frames should also be used for evacuation maps and faculty directory listings.

Main directories are located near the more primary, public entrances of campus buildings. The directory displays the building name and includes a map of the building/floor of arrival. A listing of primary and secondary destinations such as Admissions or specific departments. The list of destinations should be in alphabetical order and should include the corresponding room number and floor on which the destinations are located.

TECHNOLOGY.

The Coated Pantone Matching System®, Akzo Nobel Paint system and Matthews Acrylic Polyurethane are used for specifying signage color matches. (In the absence of actual sign material color chip reference sets, actual specified product color swatches should be referenced for color matching.)

Shown here are approximations of the primary signage background colors and supporting accent colors. Actual color finishes on signage must be matte or low luster (not shiny or glossy) and exclusively a premium acrylic polyurethane. Except for the high gloss anti-graffiti coating (Sikkens LV Anti Graffiti Clear).

Signage paints produced by Matthews Paint and Akzo Nobel Paint Company are to be the standard reference.

If vinyl films are required, 3M or Oracal are to be the standard.

Color application varies per sign type.

Refer to specific design intent drawings for application details.
