When we work with business clients who are in charge of managing office buildings, we usually receive orders for regulatory signs. For office buildings in Phoenix that are run by management teams of companies leasing these venues, the focus is more on amenity signage. In fact, the ideal setup is a mix of both.

When we work with business clients who are in charge of managing office buildings, we usually receive orders for regulatory signs. For office buildings in Phoenix that are run by management teams of companies leasing these venues, the focus is more on amenity signage. In fact, the ideal setup is a mix of both. What signage solutions should you consider in this setting?
ADA Signage Complies with Applicable Laws and Supports Customer Satisfaction
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) governs the design, manufacturing techniques and mounting requirements of directional signage. That said, it is possible to customize the signage in such a way that it features your company’s colors and still offers the right contrast for easy-to-read information. You also have a bit of a leeway when it comes to adding symbols. The graphic artists at Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions are well versed in the law’s requirements and can work with you to create ADA signs that fully comply and perfectly suit the interior décor of your building.
Evac Maps Enhance Safety and Prevent Confusion in an Emergency
You frequently see evacuation maps mounted near elevators and stairwells. They spell out emergency procedures and provide visual cues depicting escape routes from the location of the sign’s mount. Do not make do with basic maps! Instead, opt for larger panels that present evacuation information for visitors and customized instructions for those in wheelchairs. Doing so ensures that everyone is clear about your safety procedures. In the case of an emergency of natural disaster, you cut down on confusion and resulting injuries.
Suite Signs Start a Conversation with the Visiting Consumer
The suite sign displays a company’s name and logo as well as the suite number. Some building managers leave it up to tenants to commission their own signs. More and more management companies like the idea of creating a cohesive look in hallways and on floors, which results in the wholesale commission of these markers. We recommend using frame products that let you insert metal, acrylic or vinyl-clad products to show the names of tenants. This practice eliminates the need for uninstalling signage simply by allowing the frame to remain in place while only the insert changes. Tenants can still add their marketing and branding touches to the inserts.
Wayfinding Signs Let Customers and Clients Traverse Your Property without Live Assistance
Unless you intend to install a concierge desk in the lobby, it makes sense to outfit your building with directional signage products. In this setting, it is always better to over-communicate than to take a minimalist approach. Intersecting hallways, the presence of a mezzanine and the occupancy of multiple suites by one company add to the confusion experienced by first-time visitors to the building. The more wayfinding signs you install, the less likely it is that your visitors get frustrated. Options include wall and ceiling-mounted signs as well as freestanding pylons and interactive kiosk stations.
