6.5 Interior Signage Design Principles

GENERAL

Introduction

Interior signage is standardized by function in five types: Informational, Identification, Directional, Regulation and Bulletin Boards. These functions are discussed in the order that a visitor entering a building would use signs to find a given destination. For certain buildings, which have interior signs designed specifically for them, variations in the types of hardware are permitted, but all corners must be square. For Security Signs (Exit, Fire Extinguisher), see Interior Utilities 4.5, 4.6.

All signs use two different standard letterings: upper case Helvetica Medium Regular for the header or larger text and upper and lower case Century Gothic Regular for the smaller text. Signage layout must have all lettering left justified. Arrows pointing left, up or down must have flush-left messages and arrows pointing to the right must have flush-right messages. The arrow is centered in the space between the message and the edge of the sign.

Interior signs are related to interior architecture. Install interior signs in consistent height and distance to doors according to the standards in the following drawings.

Overview

These standards provide a consistent signing system to guide visitors through a building, from the entrance point to the correct floor, the correct floor area of a floor, the correct office and, if appropriate, the correct desk.

The design of these interior signs must be compatible with the signs shown in the GSA Manual of the Design of Signs / Symbol Systems for the Federal Facilities. All permanent signs must conform to the standards pecified in the following chapters:

6.5 Interior Signage Design Principles

GENERAL

A Informational Signs

> Type A1 building directory is to be used for all buildings. Located in every entrance lobby, it must be clearly visible to visitors as they enter the building. This directory is to have room numbers to give a continuity of directional information from initial entrance, through arrival on the floor and then to the room. The building directory consists of a permanent header panel with the name of the building or the major organization in the building, plus a directory section that lists each tenant. A diagrammatic floor plan may be added in the expanded version of the type A1. The directory section is a changeable board with inserts for the text.

> Type A2 floor directory must be located in the elevator lobbies of each floor, clearly visible to traffic entering into the lobby from the elevators or corridors. If the floor is not serviced by elevators, the floor directory must be located in the major stairway landings. The floor directory is to consist of a permanent header panel that lists each tenant on the floor, and insert panels listing the names of tenants.

B Identification Signs

> Type B1, an office area sign, is to be used to identify a major office or area in a building, such as a wing or annex. The sign is to consist of a permanent header panel with the room number, wing or annex designation, plus an insert panel which identifies the tenant.

> Type B2, an office sign, is to be used for all designated offices. The sign is to consist of a permanent header panel with the room number, wing or annex designation, plus an insert panel which identifies the tenant.

> Type B3, a room number sign, is to be used to identify a secondary office entrance or a room with no designated function. This sign is to consist of a header panel only, without the insert panel.

> Type B4, an office partition sign, is to be used to identify offices in open planned areas.

The sign is to consist of a permanent header panel with the office partition number, plus an insert panel which identifies the tenant and is to be mounted on the corner of the partition closest to traffic circulation.

> Type B5, a desk plaque, is to be used for individual identification. The plaque, without its base, may also be mounted on the office partition in place of B4 sign. The desk plaque is to consist of a permanent header panel with the office partition number, plus an insert panel which identifies the tenant, if applicable.

> Type B6, the service identification sign, is to be used to identify restrooms, telephones and other services. The service identification sign is to consist of a header panel with the service symbol. It should be located on the corner of the partition closest to traffic circulation.

> Type B7, the departmental sign, is a sign to be applied to glass doors used for prominent entries such as to a department (for glass doors see Building Circulation Interiors 2.4, Type IX). Use opaque applied capital lettering centered on the right wing.

C Directional Signs

> Type C1 / C2 is to be used for directions and must be located at each decision point-opposite the elevators, opposite the stairways and at each corridor intersection. The directional sign must point to room numbers (C1). Only high priority destinations, those most often sought by people entering the building for the first time (such as Finance, Pass and ID, or Vehicle Registration) must be listed by name (C2). The signs are to consist of single or double permanent header panels listing the room numbers or names.

D Regulation Signs

> The many regulation signs required for use in Air Force buildings, as specified in Air Force Instructions and by OSHA Regulations, must be located at key points in a building where specific warning or prohibitory information is required.

> Type D1 is a larger regulation sign and must be located in open areas such as hangars or workshops. The sign is to consist of a header panel with the regulation symbol.

> Type D2 is a smaller regulation sign and must be located in interiors in general. The regulation identification sign is to consist of a header panel service symbol.

E Bulletin Boards

> Bulletin boards are to be used for several purposes - some are to contain notices, regulations and memoranda, others are to contain posters and announcements used to promote worthwhile causes and to advertise community oriented events. The appearance of the bulletin board depends on the visual quality of the materials mounted on it and the person who maintains the bulletin board must insist on keeping the bulletin board materials neatly arranged and current.

> Information papers are not to be posted in areas without bulletin boards. All permanent notices, photographs, etc., must be framed.

> The bulletin board is to consist of a permanent header panel with a general title, such as “Notices” or “Information” and a cork panel for bulletins and announcements.

GENERAL

Introduction

This chapter discusses existing monuments and memorials installed on the campus. The installation of

Center Area and in the Visitor Overlook Areas. Their installation must conform to the Cadet Area standards.

New monuments and memorials must follow the design standards of comparable type best related to the function and location.

Donations and contributions to the Chapel Precinct are to be used for the maintenance of the Chapel building and the upkeep of the plaques. Locate recognition of such donors within the inside of the Chapel. Donations and contributions to the Air Garden are to be used for the restoration and maintenance of the landscape, fountains and reflecting pools of the original Air Garden design.

The Association of Graduates (AOG) Precinct is funded and controlled by the AOG. All projects/changes must be coordinated through the AOG.

Overview

These standards coordinate the installation of all monuments and memorials with the existing landscaping plan.

No monuments or memorials may be located outside the boundaries of the designated areas listed below. The Academy may, at any time and at its sole discretion, relocate any monument or memorial. The installation of monuments and memorials must conform to the standards specified in the following chapters:
