Several elements of the visual vocabulary were explored to implement a successful wayfinding pro-gram at the University.

Differing Color Palette and Typography options were evaluated. The final concept, which is applicable to any UAlbany campus, is based on form and materials solely, rather than on color. Different sign materials are used to differentiate signage on the three cam-puses, with the exact sign materials specified in the individual sign type descriptions in the New Signage and Wayfinding System section below.

Sign Type Functionality Definition

In establishing a visual vocabulary for the wayfinding program, the following conceptual elements were considered: color, typography, symbols, materials, and structural form. The design characteristics of the various sign types are consistent with the University’s aesthetic standards. On select sign types, UAlbany’s logo is used to help reinforce the UAlbany brand. The sign program reinforces the character of the campus — architecturally, thematically, and with regard to overall ambiance.

This approach to the signage elements includes cre-ative and modular solutions reflecting the University’s position as an active campus with a high concentra-tion of nighttime activity. The solutions use some sur-face lighting, a high contrast between typography and background, changeable features to message, and mapping inserts.

The goals and objectives of the Master Plan, in con-junction with the above-referenced site analysis, initial feedback from the Wayfinding Team and requirements of the ADA, guided the definition of a schematic array of appropriate sign types for both the exterior and the interior of all UAlbany campuses. While the particulars of visual aesthetics of the exterior and interior sign type vocabularies (color, structural form, typography, branding) were established/selected in response to three different possible options, the basic or schematic form of each sign type, as well as the messaging

intent, remain constant across the aesthetic options.

A coordinated family of wayfinding elements and sign types is proposed to support the wayfinding methodol-ogy presented earlier.

These sign types function primarily in one of three ways:

Direction-giving (D), Identifying/Informative (I), and Regulatory (R).

Destination Listing Hierarchy

On vehicular and pedestrian directional signage, des-tinations should be grouped by direction as follows — left, then right, then straight ahead — and listed that way from top to bottom on the sign face. On vehicular signage, this gives drivers time to anticipate upcom-ing turns and position their vehicles appropriately (into a left-hand turn lane for a left-hand destination, for example). Carrying the same logic into pedestrian directional signage makes for a more consistent pre-sentation of information between sign types, and rein-forces the wayfinding logic.

Within each directional grouping, destinations should be listed alphabetically to help drivers and pedestrians quickly locate the destination of their choice using a familiar information hierarchy. While other hierarchies are possible (importance, arrival order, etc.), these hierarchies are less intuitive to the first-time visitor and are harder to administer and keep consistent in the future as destinations change.

This same hierarchy (grouping destinations by direc-tion, and then alphabetically within the directional groupings) should be applied to interior wall directional signs. This will further reinforce the wayfinding logic.

Considerations

ChangeabilityThe new signage system was designed to accommo-date updating selected graphic information whether via surface-applied vinyl messages and graphics, eco-

nomical large-format map prints or modular hardware components that allow easy message panel disas-sembly and replacement. ADA Compliance

The ADA guidelines regarding sign message color/value contrast, letterform style, and barrier-free acces-sibility messaging are relevant to exterior signage and has been observed. Letterform sizes, while addressed by the ADA concerning interior signage primarily, are sufficient to assure easily read messages for the appropriate sign type’s viewing conditions.

Lighting

The exterior direction-giving signs are not internally illuminated. The use of reflective graphics, and in selected locations the use of up-lighting, should pro-vide full visibility for the viewer. Up-lighting should be mounted in-grade and centered on the sign, and placed and aimed using the manufacturer’s guidelines and specifications. Surface light levels should typically fall between 15 and 25 footcandles. A time clock or photo-electric switch to control the light should be dis-creetly, but functionally, incorporated. The choice must be made based on the particular sign’s lighting on/off intent.

Terminology

Consistent terminology is used on all directories, directional signs, department identifiers, and maps.

The colors shown here are approxi-mations of the primary signage background colors, secondary col-ors, and materials used throughout the wayfinding system. The specific colors used for each sign type are indicated on that sign type’s page.

Note: consistent and accurate color reproduction in this document can-not be assured due to the limitations of color copying technology.

The fabricator is responsible for matching all colors and materials as specified (or already in use) and is required to provide the University at Albany with color and material samples for approval.

Either the Coated Pantone Matching System®, Avery (or 3M) vinyl sys-tem, or Matthews Paint System* is used for specifying signage color matches. (In the absence of actual sign material color chip reference sets, actual specified product color swatches should be referenced for color matching.)

Actual finishes on signage are to be matte or low luster (not shiny or glossy) and exclusively a pre-mium acrylic polyurethane (signage paints produced by Matthews Paint Company are to be the standard reference).

* The Matthews Paint System is a recognized standard in the sign industry. For more information on the Matthews Paint System, write to:

The fonts selected for the University at Albany sign program are Trajan Bold, DIN Schriften, and Garamond.

DIN Schriften is a sans serif font that is clean and legible, and offers a compressed weight for direc-tional and identification purposes. Its form works well with that of the campus architecture and geometry. An alternate form of the letter “I” is recommended for the Building Identifier Letter sign types (IB-1 and IB-2). See pages 2:11 and 2:12 for examples.

Trajan is an all-uppercase font which is used in the University’s identity and reflects the history, elegance, and sophistication of this institution. It is used primarily for identification and donor recognition purposes.

Since Trajan is only available in uppercase, Garamond Italic was selected to work in harmony and offer greater legibility for large amounts of copy on donor recogni-tion signage.

Please refer to the individual sign type drawings for guidance on the use of fonts. Please note that font substitutions are not acceptable.

It is recommended that the University and selected fabricator purchase these fonts families. They are available from:

Adobe, (800) 682-3623;

http://www.adobe.com/type

Tactile lettersADA tactile letters should be painted using the DIN Schrift Mittelschrift font and have a wider-than-normal-spacing per ADA guidelines.

Braille is the same color as the background (or clear) and the fab-ricator is responsible for accurately creating Grade 2 Braille in support of the tactile message.

SIGN TYPES: TB-1 — TB-8

FUNCTION: IDENTIFICATION, LANDMARK, EVENT

PRODUCT: BANNER

CAMPUS: ANYThese fabric banners can be pole-mounted or building-mounted. They should be silk-screened or digitally printed to match University colors. They can be used for two different purposes:Landmarking BannersWhen heavily massed in a concentrated area, and inten-tionally designed for long-distance viewing by using strong colors and simple shapes, large banners create effective landmarks. This can be effectively applied around a reduced Collins Circle Drive; along the south side of Washington Avenue; flanking the Collins Circle Drive entry for a distance of 100 feet in each direction, and similarly at the north side of the Western Avenue entrance; and at the south end of the Podium.Identity BannersThese banners support the UAlbany identity. Additional special event and special message identity banner pro-grams may be implemented to help enliven the campuses. Additional examples of this approach would be custom ban-ner designs for UAlbany Athletics, performance events, ori-entation, commencement exercises and academic programs of note.These banners can also be used to identify destinations such as residence halls in place of ground or wall-mounted identifiers.Whether used as landmarking or identity devices, ban-ners can help to delineate campus boundaries, celebrate a person’s arrival at the campuses, and reinforce the UAlbany brand.GuidelinesWhenever possible the size guidelines specified in the man-ual must be followed. If efforts to fit within these guidelines are deemed unsuccessful by the project team and there are special/unique needs, then either the length and/or width may be adjusted. For example this may be the case if one needed to “fit” a banner between two existing columns, or to view a banner over a long distance, or to communicate a large amount of information.One of our concerns is that there are standardized banner support infrastructures in place across the University. To avoid various additional expenses and coordination associ-ated with the proliferation of varying sizes, banner sizes must be standardized and limited to as few as possible. The standard banner shown in the manual is intended for exterior application and typically when installed hangs down to a height of 14’-0”. Generally, the bottom of banner intended for permanent or extended use should be hung no lower than 14’-0” to avoid vandalism. Banners intended for short term use or where vandalism is not a concern such as a one day event, may be hung lower with ample allowances for pedestrian and vehicular access below where applicable. Also, please note that in-house equipment height/reach for hanging banners off the Podium deck is limited to 20’/0’, and for hanging banners off the ground is limited to 50’/30’.Given are the guidelines of the signage manual and the names of the following places/groups: the “Performance Arts Center”, the “University Museum” and the “University Library”. The intent is to work in conjunction with representa-tives from each of these groups, to come up with a banner design to address the special needs of these places/groups on campus. The changeable zones of TB-1 to TB-4 are intended to accommodate any special 2-D graphic needs of the places/groups be they artwork, color, text, etc. You are being asked to take a first stab at coming up with ideas or a framework that can then be used to initiate and help direct the discourse with the representatives to arrive at an accept-able design solution. Additionally, unlike the PAC and the Museum which are actual clients, the library is intended as a design prototype that can be adapted for any academic unit/group on campus that might request a banner in the future.

FUNCTION: IDENTIFICATION / DONOR

PRODUCT: CUSTOM

CAMPUS: ANY

These fabricated aluminum letters are used to identify buildings made possible through targeted donations and to give credit to the donors. The 1/2-inch-thick letters are painted gold and pin-mounted 3/8 of an inch off the building façade, with the bottom of the letters aligned with the building mortar. Letter dimen-sions and location are determined according to the space available. To optimize legibility, there should be a maximum of two lines of copy with a maximum of 30 letters each line (counting spaces). The DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface is used.

Adapting this design for applica-tion to Podium-type buildings would require the use of mounting brack-ets and rails like those used with the Building Identifier Letter sign types (IB-1 and IB-2) on pages 2:11 and 2:12. Letter spacing would be as shown here, without regard to column spacing, rather than the between-column letter spacing used with the larger IB-1 and IB-2 sign types.

CAMPUS: ANY

These 1/4-inch-thick bronze plaques are used to identify buildings made possible through targeted donations and to give credit to the donors. They can be used in locations where the use of larger fabricated aluminum letters is impractical, or in situations where a plaque is more appropriate. The smaller CD-2b ver-sion of this sign type can be used on the Uptown campus Podium-type architecture, secured to the concrete columns. (The CD-2a should not be used on Podium-type buildings.)

The sign type uses a laser etched University logo and text with the infill painted black. The Trajan Bold type-face is used for the facility or des-tination name, in small caps at 85 percent of the size of the initial letter of each word. Adobe Garamond Italic is used for the dedication mes-sage and donor names.

FUNCTION: WAYFINDING / INFORMATION

PRODUCT: CUSTOM

CAMPUS: ANY

These sign types are used where required by the Americans with Disabilities Act to indicate handi-capped-accessible entrances, and to direct people to accessible entranc-es from non-accessible ones. If any of the entrances into a building are not accessible, then these sign types (whether directional or identifier) are required at all of the building’s entrances as appropriate. If all of the entrances are accessible, then no accessibility signage is required at any of the entrances.

The vinyl Entrance Signs (RE-1 and RE-2) are simply white vinyl applied to a glass door surface and centered horizontally. Text is in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface.

The Entrance Plaques (RE-3 and RE-4) are custom painted alumi-num panel signs with silk-screened graphics. Text is in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface.

Where possible, the vinyl sign types should be used. The Entrance Plaque sign types can be used in locations that do not support the use of vinyl.

FUNCTION: IDENTIFICATION

PRODUCT: CUSTOM

CAMPUS: ANY

Building Identification Letters are a series of letters that are applied to buildings, either through attachment to a rail assembly as shown or as individual pin-mounted letters. In the case of the Podium on the Uptown Campus, one letter would be applied between each of the vertical mullion elements in locations appropriate to support wayfinding, in most cases on all four sides of a given building.

Typically, the 24-inch letters are used on the Uptown Campus to identify an entire building or group of buildings, and should be placed in the space between the second and third floors. The 24-inch letters can also be used in other locations on any campus where the large scale of the architecture and longer sight lines warrant their use.

For placement guidelines, see the Building Identifier Elevation Reference Drawings in Section 4: Phasing and Implementation Plan.

In the case of the Podium on the Uptown Campus, one letter would be applied between each of the vertical mullion elements in locations appropriate to support wayfinding.

On the Uptown Campus, the 15-inch letters typically identify more public buildings on the Podium (Performing Arts Center, Library) and major inte-rior destinations within the Podium buildings (Art Museum). They are placed just above the primary entrance to reinforce the points of entry.

These letters can also be used on any campus in locations where the smaller scale of the architecture and shorter sight lines warrant their use.

Ground-Mounted Building Identifiers are placed in high-visibility areas to mark the location of key buildings and departments. The signs can be either single- or double-sided. This version of the sign type uses paint-ed, pin-mounted aluminum letters and an engraved University logo on a granite veneer monument with a fabricated aluminum cap painted to match the granite. Aluminum accent bars on the pillars are painted gold. The infill of the logo is recessed and painted gray and the logo itself is painted white. Text is in the Trajan Bold typeface. Ground, in-grade, up-lighting (Hydrel 6100 Series or equal) is required to illuminate the signs in low-light conditions. Illumination light levels should typically fall between 15 and 25 footcandles. A time clock or photo-electric switch to control the light should be discreetly, but func-tionally, located.

Used in addition to other build-ing identification signs, white vinyl graphics and letters applied to glass can identify additional entrances to buildings and major departments within a building, particularly in locations where a wall-mounted identifier is impractical. They can also be used to identify secondary destinations that do not warrant a wall-mounted building identifier due to their limited relevance to the pub-lic. This approach may not be appro-priate on Podium-type buildings because of their narrow windows.

The Trajan Bold typeface is used for the building and/or department title.

SIGN TYPE: IC-1


PRODUCT: CUSTOM

CAMPUS: UPTOWN

These Campus Identifiers are placed along the perimeter of the Uptown Campus — primarily at the main Washington and Western avenue entrances — to identify the campus, help define its boundaries and affirm a visitor’s arrival. The signs can be either single- or double-sided. The sign uses pin-mounted aluminum let-ters painted gold, engraved text and street numbers infilled with black, and an engraved University logo. The infill of the logo is painted gray and the logo itself is painted white.

This version uses a granite veneer with a fabricated aluminum cap painted to match the veneer, and gold painted aluminum accent bars on the pillars. The granite relates visually to the architecture on the Uptown Campus. The University name is rendered in the approved University logotype dimensions, and the street numbers are in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface.


NOTE: Once the Balsley Plan for landmarking at Uptown Campus entrances is implemented, these Campus Identifier signs can either be moved off the campus perimeter to flank the University Drive at each entrance, or removed altogether.

CAMPUS: UPTOWN

This design is based on refacing the front face of the existing Uptown Campus identification sign located at the corner of Washington Avenue and Fuller Road. It helps to define the campus boundaries and let visi-tors know that they have arrived.

The sign uses a white granite veneer and fabricated aluminum and engraved letters with the engraved text infilled black. Gold painted alu-minum accents are used on the side pillars. A fabricated aluminum curved cap and column caps are painted to match the granite. The veneer relates visually to the architecture on the Uptown Campus. Text is in the Trajan Bold typeface.

FUNCTION: REGULATORY / INFORMATION TEMPLATE

PRODUCT: CUSTOM

CAMPUS: ANY

These pole-mounted white painted aluminum signs with vinyl graphics are used to convey parking restric-tions and provide other regulatory information.

The sign type template is divided into zones as needed. For the “a” template, the top zone is reserved for a symbol or arrow. The middle zone uses a colored background to indicate the audience (gold for students, purple for faculty and staff, blue for barrier-free parking, red for other audiences or restrictions). The bottom zone, if needed, uses black or red text to indicate time limits, consequences, or other regulatory information. The “b” template is more for identification or informa-tional purposes. It only has one zone that consists of a symbol and copy.

SIGN TYPE: MP-1, MP-2

FUNCTION: WAYFINDING

PRODUCT: CUSTOM

CAMPUS: VARIES

These pedestrian orientation signs are located along primary pedestrian routes around the campus, espe-cially at exits from visitor parking lots and at gathering places. They hold fiberglass-embedded map graphics printed in UV-resistant inks that depict the entire campus and identify major destinations and facili-ties including parking lots, building entrances and emergency phones. The map should always be properly oriented to the viewer in that if North is up on the map, the viewer should be looking North.

The Columnar structure is primar-ily for the Uptown Campus. Black aluminum panels displaying a white vinyl question mark are mounted at the top of the 1/2” Avonite simulated granite pillar on all four sides, to help visitors identify the maps from a distance and so it can be seen over parked vehicles. Gold painted aluminum accent bars surround the pillar below the aluminum panels. The base is wrapped in 1/2” Avonite simulated granite veneer.

The alternative Pedestal mount can be used on any campus. The white aluminum pedestal holds the same map sign cabinet as the MP-1 and is supported with a cast concrete base.

CAMPUS: UPTOWN

These custom acrylic panel signs are painted gold and use square end caps painted black. A silk-screened map of the Podium displaying major buildings and a “You” symbol is cor-rectly oriented to the viewer’s posi-tion. Changeable/removable black styrene inserts with clear protective overlays and white vinyl text and symbols point out high-level destina-tions. Gold painted bars separate the map from the destination listings. Text is in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface (the “You” in the orientation graphic is in Trajan Bold).

The signs are placed on the “out-side” of the Podium columns so that viewers can compare the map to the view in front of them across the Podium, and so that the maps are not visible from the Carillon. The large illustration here shows an installation along the north side of the Podium with the map orientation “south up.” It is important that these maps be oriented properly for each of the four possible map orientations (the square area of the map will accommodate this).

These signs can also be used with existing Quad dormitory housing maps at locations on the Quads.

For mounting details, refer to Exterior Wall Mounting Conditions: Condition B under the Installation of Signs section on page 2:44.

SIGN TYPES: NB-1, NB-2

FUNCTION: DISPLAY


CAMPUS: ANY

These one- or four-sided signs are typically mounted to columns in the Uptown Campus Podium and used to post announcements of upcoming campus events and other temporary notices, though they can also be used in other locations. The modi-fied aluminum display cabinets have locked doors with tempered glass and contain self-healing corkboard display panels that can hold either a single 11-by-17-inch sheet or two 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheets. The University logo is silk-screened onto the display panel header. The signs can also accept changeable message strips, a magnetic display board or a changeable letter board in lieu of the corkboard display panel.

The four-sided column-mounted ver-sion should only be used in isolated instances (i.e. by the Performing Arts Center, Campus Center, Library or within the Student Quads). When locating the one-sided column-mounted version on the Podium, the signs should not be placed on the side of the column facing the Carillon, so that they are not visible when looking across the Podium.

These one-sided boards can also be used outside buildings like Parking Management or a cafeteria to list hours of operation. If space is avail-able, the board should be a standard APCO (or similar vendor) size.

SIGN TYPE: DV-1



CAMPUS: UPTOWN / EAST

These one- or two- sided signs located on the Uptown and East campuses support wayfinding to major public parking lots and to Top Destinations within the immediate area of each sign. This sign type should be used as needed before intersections with secondary roads, at vehicular decision points, and at approximately 600-foot intervals along longer routes for reinforce-ment of wayfinding messages.

The signs use a 1/2” Avonite simu-lated granite veneer and a fabricated aluminum curved cap painted to match the veneer. The University logo is etched into the veneer with the infill painted gray and the logo itself painted white. Gold rules are used to separate directional group-ings (left, then right, then straight ahead as needed).

The modular fiberglass sign ele-ment holds interchangeable high-performance reflective white vinyl panels to allow easy updating by the University Sign Shop. Lettering is rendered in high-performance black vinyl in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface, and high-performance black vinyl is also used for the arrow and any “Circle P” parking symbol graphics. Temporary event mes-sage panels can also be used with a purple background and high-perfor-mance reflective white vinyl lettering.

Each sign can support wayfinding to up to 11 destinations. If a particu-lar location requires wayfinding to more than 11 destinations, a second sign can be installed approximately 60 feet beyond the first to wayfind to the remaining destinations. Destinations should be divided by directional groupings between the two signs, with the left-hand directional destinations listed on the first sign (or left-hand and then right-hand directional destinations if space permits).

Ground, in-grade, up-lighting (Hydrel 6100 Series or equal) is required, with a discreetly, but functionally placed photo-electric switch, to illu-minate the signs in low-light condi-tions.

These one- or two- sided signs located on the Downtown Campus support wayfinding to major public parking lots and to Top Destinations within the immediate area of each sign. This sign type should be used as needed before intersections with secondary roads, at vehicular decision points, and at approximately 600-foot intervals along longer routes for reinforcement of wayfinding messages.

The signs use a limestone base, red brick detail to match the campus architecture, and a fabricated alumi-num curved cap painted to match the limestone. The University logo is silk-screened onto the cap. Gold rules are used to separate directional groupings (left, then right, then straight ahead as needed).

The modular fiberglass sign element holds interchangeable high-perfor-mance reflective white vinyl panels to allow easy updating by the University Sign Shop. Lettering is rendered in high-performance black vinyl in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface, and high-performance black vinyl is also used for the arrow and any “Circle P” park-ing symbol graphics. Temporary event message panels can also be used with a purple background and high-perfor-mance reflective white vinyl lettering.

Each sign can support wayfinding to up to 11 destinations.

Destinations should be divided by directional group-ings between the two signs, with the left-hand directional destinations listed on the first sign (or left-hand and then right-hand directional destinations if space permits).

These signs can be used to support wayfinding to smaller and less public parking lots like those intended for service vehicles, and in situations where the DV-1 and DV-2 sign types may be more than is needed due to the campus size, road speed or number of destinations. They also can be used to indicate the direction to another campus and to convey the distance to that campus.

The modular aluminum post-and-panel signs are painted white and use a custom aluminum cap painted gold. Horizontal spacers painted metallic gold are used to separate the header and each of the direc-tional groupings (left, then right, then straight ahead as needed) from each other. The University logo is applied to the cap with surface-applied high-performance black and white reflec-tive vinyl.

The modular sign holds interchange-able high-performance white reflec-tive vinyl panels to allow easy updat-ing by the University Sign Shop. Lettering is rendered in high-perfor-mance black vinyl in the DIN Schrift Engschrift typeface, and high-per-formance black vinyl is also used for the arrow and any “Circle P” parking symbol graphics.

Each sign can support wayfinding to up to seven destinations, however a blank panel is recommended above a change in direction. If a particular location requires wayfinding to more than seven destinations, a second sign can be installed approximately 60 feet beyond the first to wayfind to the remaining destinations. Destinations should be divided by directional groupings between the two signs, with the left-hand directional destinations listed on the first sign (or left-hand and then right-hand directional destinations if space permits).

This two-sided granite veneer sign with a built-in LED display is used to announce short-term events such as sport events, alumni weekends, ori-entation week, and museum show-ings. University Athletics would like one sign to be placed along Western Avenue to advertise sporting events. Another identical sign could be located along Washington Avenue to advertise University-wide activities.

The sign uses an engraved University logo on a granite veneer monument with painted aluminum accents on the side pillars, and a fabricated aluminum curved cap and column cap painted to match the granite veneer. The infill of the logo is painted gray and the logo itself is painted white. The aluminum accents are painted gold.

The two-sided, single-color LED display can show up to three lines of text, and the programmable mes-sage board can be updated via phone line using PC software. One or two (alternating) messages can be presented at a time. Motion and special effects can be used as an option where allowed by zoning.

SPECIFICATIONS

A. Viewing Distance Guide: It is a well established convention that in order to ensure proper legibility, one should use 1 inch of letter cap height for every 50 feet of distance between the viewer and a sign. However, this convention assumes ideal visibility conditions. In order to compensate for many variables such as night time viewing, angular view, vehicle speed, and to comply with the ADA mandate, 1 inch of letter cap height should be used for every 25 feet of distance between the viewer and a sign. The best way to ensure proper legibility is to test the design on-site and verify the suitable letter cap height size.

SUMMARY

A. General: Provide Exterior Architectural Signage in accordance with requirements of the Contract Documents.

B. Project Overview From Designer: The work depicted in this manual, while seemingly straightforward in appearance, is defined as “custom architectural signage”. More that just a term, this definition demands that all materials used, fabrication methods and program management that go into each finished component observe the highest craft and quality standards at each step of the process through delivery to the client. Contractors involved in fabricating and installing the work depicted will join in a productive partnership with the University in producing a system of wayfinding information elements that further enhances the University’s position.

It is understood by all concerned that the apparent silence of the specifications as to a detail or the apparent omission of a detailed description concerning a point shall be regarded as meaning that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only material and workmanship of the first quality is to be used. All

interpretations of these specifications shall be made on this basis.C. Electronic Files: Note that the University has electronic files of this document and of all of the sign type designs depicted in the document. Contractors involved in fabricating and installing the work depicted herein should request a copy of these electronic files to use as base templates for their further development of detailed and engineered shop drawings to assure conformity to the sign designs.

It is understood by all concerned that the apparent silence of the specifications as to a detail or the ap-parent omission of a detailed description concerning a point shall be regarded as meaning that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only mat erial and workmanship of the first quality is to be used. All interpretations of these specifications shall be made on this basis.

D. The related Sign-Type Data Sheets show design-in-tent, not construction or engineering detail. The award-ed Contractor is responsible for fabrication, installation and overall product quality. The further development and engineering of the Sign-Type Data Sheets, as well as all assembly and attachment installation speci-fications shall be illustrated in detail in required shop drawings. The shop drawings must adequately and ac-curately define construction details.

E. Note that the University has electronic files of all of the sign type designs depicted on the data sheets. Contractors involved in fabricating and install-ing the work depicted herein can request a copy of these electronic files to use as base templates for their further development of detailed and engineered shop

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

A. Freestanding Signage: Provide outdoor sign as-semblies designed, tested, and installed, to withstand positive and negative design wind load as would be anticipated from the design intent. Mounting devices shall be engineered to withstand a minimum 30-psf wind load normal to the sign, or greater as per local code, in addition to the weight of the sign. Once final and exact sign locations are marked, the Contractor shall determine the appropriate method of anchoring signs to the locations to meet these requirements as well as all local code requirements. Some signs have visible masonry bases, others are single or double-post mounted. The APCO SignBar™ and APCO PolySign™ component signage systems are specified as sample products for creation of the majority of the signage assemblies. Other manufactur-ers’ products that match or exceed the performance and aesthetic requirements of these sample systems may be substituted.

B. Fonts/Typefaces:

A. General: Provide standard and custom manufac-tured sign assemblies, components completely fabri-cated and finished at the factory before delivery to site. Construct signage to accurate detail and dimensions as shown and as reviewed on shop drawings. Fit and

assemble all work at shop to the greatest extent pos-sible and mark components as required to facilitate as-sembly during installation.

1. The Space Type Data Sheets call for a variety of fabrication techniques. Sign Contractors are given lee-way in the manner in which they fabricate the signs, to allow for variances in shop practices, as long as the finished product:

a. Meets or exceeds the structural and functional intent of the designs depicted by the sign type drawings

b. Complies with all governing trade organization stan-dards with regard to materials, warranties performance and engineering criteria. Stamped engineering shop drawings shall be provided for all signs requiring struc-tural foundations. c. Replicates in appearance, as shown in the Sign-Type Data Sheet, size, visual compositions, graphics and colors (hidden elements related to these aspects may vary as fabrication may dictate)e. Subsequent orders replicate EXACTLY the finished appearance of previous sign type orders approved and installed at the University under the Contract.

2. Because different extrusion systems may result in slightly different dimensional requirements, the dimen-sions described in the sign type drawings may be con-sidered “nominal”. The APCO SignBar™ and APCO PolySign™ component signage systems are specified product for creation of the majority of the signage as-semblies. Alternative products / substitutions are per-mitted, but must meet or exceed the specifications of this product. The University shall be advised in writing of any specific deviation from stated specifications.

3. Details on the Sign-Type Data Sheet indicate a de-sign approach for sign structure but do not necessarily include all fabrication details required for the complete structural integrity of the signs, including consideration for static, dynamic and erection loads during handling, erecting, and service at the installed locations, nor do they necessarily consider the preferred shop practices of the awarded Contractor. Therefore, it shall be the responsibility of the awarded Contractor to perform the complete structural design of the signs and to incor-porate all the safety features necessary to adequately support the sign for its intended use and purpose and to protect the University. The awarded Contractor shall also be responsible for ensuring that all signs meet lo-

cal and state codes

4. The further development and engineering of the sign type drawings, as well as below-grade installation specs, is expected to be shown in the awarded Con-tractor’s submitted shop drawings. Fabricator recom-mendations for alternative methods, which do not alter the design intent, reduce the product quality or com-promise product performance will be considered by the University if such alternative fabrication methods are submitted in written and/or drawn form prior to starting shop drawings. The Contractor’s Shop drawings must adequately and accurately define construction details.

5. Non-welded joints between various portions of signs must have a tight, hairline-type appearance, without gaps. Provide sufficient fastenings to preclude loose-ness, racking, or similar movement.

6. Provide drain holes as needed to prevent accumula-tion of water within signs. Holes must be inconspicu-ous and be in inconspicuous locations; holes must be located such that drainage does not occur onto signs, or other surfaces subject to staining. Provide insect screening over drain holes.

7. Sign faces are to have lettering and graphics creat-ed as surface-applied vinyl typography using Avery or 3M exterior grade, minimum 5-year warranty. Certain applications are to be engineer-grade reflective vinyl as specified on the Sign-Type Data Sheet. Update: All surface applied vinyl is to be engineer grade reflective vinyl.

8. Only labels required by law are permitted to be mounted on the exterior of the sign face, and they should be located in a position which is as discreet as possible.

B. Metal/Fiberglas Signs and Supports: Although APCO SignBar™ and APCO PolySign™ component signage systems are the specified product/model for creation of the majority of the signage assemblies, equivalents are permitted. Fabricate exposed sur-faces uniformly flat and smooth, without distortion, pit-ting, or other blemishes. Form exposed metal edges to a smooth radius. Grind exposed welds and rough edges to make flush with adjacent smooth surfaces.

1. Welding: Make welds continuous. Comply with American Welding Society and Aluminum standards

for type of metal.

2. Fasteners: Sign blanks shall be fastened to sign standards by means of exposed stainless steel, tam-per proof, cap screws, bolts and nuts. Perform drilling operation at shop.

3. Dissimilar Materials: Where metal surfaces will be in contact with dissimilar materials, coat the surfaces with epoxy paint with a minimum 2.0 mil dry film thick-ness or provide other means of dielectric separation as recommended by manufacturer to prevent galvanic corrosion.
