Introduction - Why We Need Standards

 

The main purpose of the WSU Interior Sign Standard is to provide the guidelines for the manufacturing, purchasing and installation of interior signage on campus. It should also insure compliance with ADA codes and facilitate efficient management of campus resources and facilities.

Room numbers are an important resource and are used by many people for many purposes on and off campus.  These include Students, Faculty and Staff, Budget & Institutional Research, Facilities Management, Information Technology, Property Control, the State of Utah, the State Fire Marshall, contractors, Emergency Medical Service and Rescue, vendors, as well as Class Schedules and the WSU directory. Consistent and clear signage aids patrons in navigating through buildings and facilitates the timely arrival of Emergency Medical Service Personnel in the event of an emergency.  

Room numbers are listed on publications such as Class Schedules and the WSU directory which may be utilized by people who are unfamiliar with campus buildings. The use of uniform interior signage helps guide them to their destinations by providing a pattern they can follow and making it clear when they have reached their destination.           

Emergency Medical Service is in the process of entering building and room numbers into their database(s) and linking them with the corresponding phone number.  This allows EMS Personnel to determine from which building and room an emergency 911 call is being made.  Making sure that recorded room numbers match room numbers on signs, and that rooms are clearly labeled, is crucial to this emergency response system.

By following the guidelines described within, we can manage campus schedules and properties, comply with codes, and maintain university construction standards with a high level of quality and integrity.

     

 


 

Space Numbering Guide

The purpose for space numbering, and the accompanying signage, is to easily direct individuals to a person or location in a building and to manage the space and its attributes within the Facilities Management information system, FacilityFocus (Focus). Weber State University (WSU) Facilities Management’s Focus is a tool set that assists in space management with the key element to identify and relate ALL spaces to both a database and a graphical representation. FacilityFocus requires that ALL spaces be acknowledged and numbered with a unique identifier within the database, even though all spaces may not be a part of the sequential numbering and signage system used to direct people. This unique identifier will be a combination of three fields, the FM Building I.D. (a 2-letter abbreviation assigned by FM to each building), the Floor I. D., plus a unique Space Number.

WSU Facilities Management CAD Data Manager is responsible for the numbering, tracking and documenting of changes for all spaces on the Weber State University campus; including the spaces affected or created by remodel and construction projects. Regardless of the size and scope of the project, it is necessary to contact WSU Facilities Management, CAD Data Manager’s office for all room numbering needs.

Following are the basic guidelines:

           

  1. The first digit of a room number indicates the floor on which the room is located. The level bearing the number 1 as its first digit should be the uppermost floor entered at grade or one half level above grade. To identify levels below grade, the level immediately below level 1 will be level 0; a level existing below 0 will be identified as level B. Roofs will have an R as a ‘floor identifier’. The intent is to have a designation that clearly denotes the floor location relative to the entire facility. If a new building is to connect to existing facilities, consideration must be given to match the level designation and description of the adjoining facility.

     
  2. If there are less than 10 levels above grade, the space identifier will consist of 3 or 4 characters with the first digit designating the level number, the second and third will represent the space. If the space is located within a suite, it will additionally have a fourth alpha-character such as A, B, C, etc. (See item #3 for suites). When there are more than 9 levels above grade, then the identifier will have 4 or 5 characters and follow the same logic.

     
  3. Spaces inside of spaces shall have the main space number followed by an alpha character, i.e. rooms accessed by going through room 302 would be designated 302A, 302B, 302C etc. If a room is inside a large numbered space, such as a library, dining facility or an open office plan, the individual spaces may have their own sequential number.

     
  4. Cubicles inside rooms should be given the main room number followed by an alpha designation. If there are both permanent rooms and cubicles in the same space, the permanent rooms should be numbered first.

     
  5. Space numbering must first be looked at to provide for direction. Where the numbering begins is therefore usually specific to the facility. Numbers should begin where the main entrance to the floor occurs – usually this is at the main entrance to the building or on upper floors, at the elevator lobby. From this point numbering should ascend in a clockwise direction when possible.

     
  6. Spaces are numbered, not doors. If there is more than one door opening into a single space, all doors should have the same number.

     
  7. Moving in the direction of travel (typically clockwise), room numbers should be assigned in a sequential manner, as doorways are approached. In basic, uncomplicated layouts, the numbering may be designated with even numbers located on the left and odd numbers on the right, similar to street numbering, skipping numbers as necessary to maintain number relationship

     
  8. If the plan suggests that spaces may be divided in the future, sequential numbers can be held in reserve. Most buildings undergo renovation many times; and when, as is often the case, larger spaces are divided into smaller spaces, new room numbers will be needed. Having numbers in reserve eliminates the need to renumber an entire level after a portion has been remodeled.

     
  9. To the greatest extent possible, room numbering on various floors should follow the same pattern as other floors in the building.

     
  10. All rooms, including Restrooms, Custodial Closets, Mechanical rooms, Storages, and  Telecom/Network rooms should be numbered sequentially (skipping numbers as suggested by item #8).

     
  11. Corridors, stairs, elevators, shafts and chases have unique identifiers and do not follow the same sequence as all other spaces. These spaces will be identified on the drawing set and in FacilityFocus using the following criteria.

Our goal is to work with the architect at the beginning of a project so that drawing numbers can be continued as actual room numbers throughout the project, avoiding confusion of having Architectural or “Drawing ID Numbers”. We will number rooms as soon as possible after the floor plan of a new or remodeled space is established and the drawings are submitted to the CAD Data Manager. Modifications to a design that occur after the initial design completion and create a need for numbering changes or additions will be submitted to the CAD Manager as soon as possible. To avoid problems and misunderstanding, the WSU Project Manager will keep the CAD Data Manager informed and up-to-date as project design changes occur.

 

 

 

Installation of Signs (ADA)

 

Installation Dimensions

The intent of these specifications is to create a uniform appearance throughout the campus buildings by ensuring the top of all signs is at the same height.

  1. All standard 6” x 6” room signs shall be mounted with their centerline 60” above the floor.
  2. All standard 3” x 6” ‘number only’ signs shall be mounted with their centerline 62” above the floor.
  3. Horizontal distance from edge of sign to edge of closest door frame shall be 4” (unless existing conditions make this impossible). 
  4. All 8” x 14” perpendicular wing wall signs shall be centered horizontally and mounted 2” above the corresponding entryway. (Does not have to be over an entryway.)

 

Installation Method

  1. Install all signs with double sided tape.  This will insure good adherence without damaging the wall surfaces.
  2. If signs are to be installed on brick walls or other non-smooth surfaces, an aluminum plate will be screwed to the wall first and the sign will be mounted on top of the plate.
  3. If a sign must be placed on a window, a backing that is the same size as the sign must be provided.  This backing is to be placed on the opposite side of the window to conceal the mounting tape.
  4. Install on latch side of door or on the adjacent wall next to the door latch whenever possible.  Signs placed closer than 6.5” to door jamb will be mounted on a ½” spacer to lift them away from the wall.  This makes it possible for name inserts to be changed out without completely removing the sign from the wall.
  5. FM personnel will install all signs, unless a contract specifies a contractor to install signage.

 

Room Sign Requirements

  1. All doors leading from a stairwell must have a Floor ID Sign mounted inside the stairwell.
  2. All elevators must have an Emergency Elevator Sign.
  3. All rooms must minimally have either a standard 6” x 6” room identification sign or a 3” x 6” number only sign.
  4. All restroom signage must have an ADA restroom logo. A room number is preferred on all restroom signage.

Room Renumbering Procedures and Funding

  1. A building will be renumbered if the building has a major renovation, has numerous cumulative changes, or is in violation of codes.  Other buildings not complying with Weber State Sign Standards will be systematically changed over to compliant signage as resources permit.
  2. For a major renovation, the FM project manager will obtain correct room numbers from the FM CAD Data Manager; submit a draft copy for review to all affected departments; and will include the renumbering (and re-keying costs) within the renovation budget and submit a copy of the plans for review prior to start of  construction/renovation.
  3. In order to obtain new signs for buildings not under renovation, FM will initiate a purchase Requisition for manufacture and installation of signs.  This will include:
    1. A revised numbered floor plan
    2. Sign schedule with sign types and wording/message
    3. American Disabilities Act compliance

Implementation

Requests for signage will be reviewed and approved by Facilities Management prior to implementation.  Facilities Management shall maintain records of the old and new room numbers until sign installation and re-keying are complete.

 

The general plan of implementation will be as follows:

1.   All new construction will include compliant signs.

  1. Renovation of a total building, or areas within a building, will include compliant signs.
  2. Small orders for sign replacements and upgrades will be processed through Facilities Management.
  3. As funds permit, existing buildings will be systematically changed over to compliant signage.
  4. UCI Sign Shop is on the State Contract for signs, and will be used for all orders over $5,000. Can opt to send orders under $5,000 to 2/90 Sign Systems.
