A well-managed signage program is vital to the look and function of the
University of Minnesota campuses. The application of these standards will help
to ensure a unified direction for facility planning.
The information in this standards manual is indended to be a resource for both
in-house staff and outside suppliers. We have tried to address the most common
signs and their usage in this manual, however these standards may not provide
an immediate solution to every informational signage need.
Signage standards and methods of manufacture are continually changing and
will be monitored and the standards updated to take advantage of new
technologies the industry has to offer.
Building code revisions and their impact on the signage program will also be
continually monitored and sign layouts updated to comply with the latest
regulations.
