A sign refers to any object that reflects association with the college and is designed to be seen from a public area or within a college facility.  A sign is any object placed within a public area, on or within a college facility that is intended to communicate information, identification, or direction through the use of letters, words, numbers, symbols, pictures, or patterns.

Some categories of signs are “standardized,” meaning that we use consistent sizes, materials, formats and expressions.

Specifications:

• All signs are centered and mounted 72” from the bottom of the door and installed on both sides of the door.
