University Facilities provides signage selection and procurement services primarily as a component of larger construction or relocation projects for University offices and classrooms.
Departmental Signage Purchases:
Small scale signage changes and purchases within a department must be reviewed by University Facilities. We provide free consultation services that include information about approved signage standards, samples, and assistance with the development of a budget for your department's purchase. Typical signage includes: Site Map Signs, Site Directional Signs, Building Identification Signs, and Internal Building Signs.
Simple projects like staking down a tent, landscaping, fencing or even installing a signpost on campus can be dangerous and disruptive when digging without knowing where underground utility lines such as electric, communications, natural gas, water, steam, and sewer lines are located. Knowing where these underground utility lines are before putting a shovel or excavation equipment in the dirt helps prevent injuries, property damage and inconvenient service outages.
