Specialty Signs

This section of the Signage Design guide describes signs that are for special applications,

both inside and outside of a facility.

One group of signs are freestanding signs used to display a variety of information, bothpermanent and temporary. Some signs relate to or advise on room usage. Other signs

are for specific types of room identification or building conditions.

Signs include those related to operational conditions such as sanitation or patient infor-

mation memory boxes displaying information about a patient.

Signs are provided for construction projects, and banners to highlight events, promo-

tions, or seasonal themes.

Discuss requirements with sign manufacturers because many of these items are standardproducts which are illustrated in their catalogs and can be easily ordered.

This section is not all inclusive and specific conditions or situations may warrant designof sign solutions that are not shown.
