Sign Overview Parking Structure Signage Drawings

SECTION 3.6

PARKING STRUCTURE SIGNAGE DRAWINGS

Introduction This section provides detailed drawings of all typical sign types and graphics for parking structures at VA facilities. Individual facilities may have unique conditions that require modifications or additional sign types not shown in the Manual. The drawings can be used as a starting point to develop a facility-specific parking structure sign standard using colors, graphics, and icons that tie into the wayfinding plan.

Guidelines

• For more information on developing the look of the sign system, including VA standard fonts, arrows, and color suggestions, refer to Section 4.1 Design Elements. Color palettes are intended as suggestions and usage is not required. Colors, materials, and finishes used in parking structure signage should complement and enhance the appearance of campus environments whenever possible.

Requirements

• Please review Section 2.6 Parking Structure Signage Guidelines which contains information regarding Planning, Programming, Construction, and Installation prior to starting signage projects.

• Helvetica Lt Std is the standard font required for use in signage at all VA facilities with the exclusion of National Cemetery Administration locations.

Sign Designations Each sign in the program manual has been given a specific sign type number designation. This designation provides a common description that can be referenced when programming a site and ordering signs. The following explains how the sign type designations are derived.

PS - 01 .01 A

PS Designates a parking structure sign.

01 Two digit number identifies the sign type family.

.01 The two digit number following the period identifies a specific sign within the sign family.

A The letter designates a specific sign configuration, version and / or layout for graphics or symbols.
