TRAFFIC PATTERNS ARE EVERYTHING

 

Implementing a successful wayfinding system for healthcare, financial, entertaining, hotel industry takes expert analysis, master planning and a well-thought-out process of implementation. 

 

ADA signage is required for every  room, office, lobby, space or area in or around a building.

​

Federal laws, as well as many state and local regulations, dictate that ADA-compliant identification signs must always be located to distinguish the following:

​

Reception Areas, Waiting Rooms

Street Entrances, Exits and entryways

Emergency exits

Restrooms

Elevators

Parking Facilities (Accessible parking - Reserved parking spaces)

HIPAA reminders

Loading docks

Fitting rooms

Alarms

Message Display Centers

Hazardous Material Rooms or Recipients

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs)

Adjacent to operational machinery, industrial tools, equipment and facility controls.

​

Braille characters are mandatory on all identification signs and highly encouraged on informational and wayfinding signage.

​

Wayfinding saves money.

research has shown that a 300-office hospital will lose more than 3000 hours per year of work-time redirecting patients and visitors to their destinations.
