Wayfinding
Designer Sign Systems offers expert wayfinding consultation. Directional and map signage is a critical strategy to ensure building and campus visitors and employees are able to find their way. This is not only a convenience - but a life safety issue in the event of a fire or other emergency event. Proper placement and usage of signs helps individuals navigate without constantly interrupting building occupants for information and directions. This increases productivity of employees, which in a poorly signed facility can be substantial.
Building directories assist visitors in finding tenants, departments, doctors without bothering others. In designing functional directory systems Designer Sign Systems has a vast resource of options that extend from lit glass cases to architectural pedestals to directory strips coordinated with your other signage.
"You Are Here", evacuation and emergency shelter maps help individuals move in an orderly manner through a building or evacuate it in case of an emergency. Stairwell signs direct fire fighters in the event of a fire while "In Case Of Fire" signs direct occupants to a safe exit.
Exterior maps for finding your way around corporate or college campuses are also a necessary communication tool. One of our partners, mapformation, creates digital maps and diagrams for building interior diagrams, area and city maps, virtual tours and much more. mapformation can provide the artwork for maps in a format suitable for all your possible uses, while Designer Sign Systems can produce and install them for you.
