New way-finding signage has begun appearing on campus this fall to help visitors become more quickly familiar with ACU. Large purple signs now mark major entrances, and smaller purple signs help direct pedestrians to specific locations. University planners will continue to determine the location and information for both sizes of signs, and more will be installed as funds become available.

Colleges, departments and offices interested in helping accelerate the funding of way-finding signage for their visitors should contact Creative Services for more information.

A big “thank you” is due to Creative Services’ senior designer Greg Golden for developing these, and engineering them to be produced with the help of a local vendor, which saved the university thousands of dollars on each sign.

The exterior signage design also complements ACU’s interior signage program, which satisfies all requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and presents a consistent look across campus for these important tools in helping inform visitors. There are four styles of ACU signs to designate interior rooms, each featuring Braille and molded letters/numbers raised from the sign surface. These customized interior signs must be ordered through Creative Services, where other samples also are available. Note that old-style “blade” signs above or near the top of doors are not ADA-compliant. Watch for more info about that to come.
