The University's Campus Sign Program (Signage Guidelines, January 1995) organizes the multitude of exterior informational, directional, and regulatory signs on campus. The system is made up of diverse elements, allowing variation of expression, and it is hierarchical to provide clarity within the campus environment. The wayfinding system was designed to be universally understandable for first-time visitors, students, faculty, and alumni.
The Campus Sign Program identifies three primary signage types for the campus wayfinding system:
- Informational Signage: This type of signage is the first major introduction to the campus. It includes identification information such as street and path names, building identification, and campus maps. This category can also include helpful information such as safety/protection tips, listing of facility hours, phone numbers, and current events.
- Directional Signage: This type of signage directs visitors from surrounding areas to the campus, parking, and campus shuttle bus locations. It includes directional signage within the campus environment.
- Regulatory Signage: This category of signage includes public and permit parking information, accessibility signage, and all standard campus regulatory signs.
The guidelines below further define the locations and contextual relationships of sign types appropriate for the Classical Core.
