About this file
This document is an Interior Signage Standards guide for Pershing High School in Michigan, establishing requirements and specifications for various signage types throughout the facility. The guide specifies dimensions, required text and icons, mounting methods, materials, and placement locations for twelve distinct signage categories, including classroom room signs (8 x 8 inches, acrylic, wall-mounted), elevator designations and life safety signage (8 x 8 inches, acrylic), evacuation plan displays (17 x 11 inches in rooms, 24 x 18 inches in corridors, acrylic with insert slots), hallway directional signs (12 x 18 inches standard or 18 x 24 inches for additional text, acrylic), restroom signs (6 x 9 inches with inclusivity symbols, acrylic), and stairwell signs (8 x 4 inches with metal brackets). Additional signage types covered include specialty classrooms, corridor flags (optional for high schools, metal bracket or vinyl graphic), non-permanent and permanent room designations, room occupancy signs for assembly spaces (8 x 6 inches), and optional hallway identification signage.
The standards document, revised March 7, 2025, establishes mandatory requirements for fire safety and elevator signage while designating certain signage categories as optional, such as corridor flags and hallway identification. All signage must comply with specified dimensions and material requirements, with acrylic being the primary material specified across most signage types. The document provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring consistent, compliant interior wayfinding and safety signage throughout the school facility.
