A. Requirements for Large and Small Interior Signage Installations: 1. Please refer to attachment C/A and C/B of the solicitation for procedures to be followed in ordering, scheduling and billing for signs. 2. Using the most updated ADA regulations, Signage Coordinator has established a sign mounting policy that is intended to cover most foreseeable conditions. 3. Location: The regulatory sign mounting policy is to locate the top of the sign frame on an open wall space five feet (60 inches) above the floor, two inches from the outer edge of the doorframe on the handle (strike) side of the door. Optional department or nameplates are mounted 1” below the initial room sign. This rule will satisfy approximately 90% of the sign situations. B. If basic installation is not possible, the installer will use the following principles to find the most appropriate location for the room sign- using the most recent ADA regulated sign installation requirements: 1. Find the nearest visible wall space on the handle side of the door. Signs should not be installed on the glass light, unless a blank back plate has been ordered to go directly behind the sign, as the double-stick tape used for installation is unsightly. If the sign is installed on glass double-sided tape (ex. 3M-VHB tape) should be used. 2. If a group of doors is arranged so closely together that there is no suitable wall space available nearby, then the sign may be placed outside the vestibule leading to these doors. If there are still questions about where signs need to go, contact the Signage Coordinator.
