Ball State has developed standard ADA room signage system that is compliant with State Building Codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. To maintain our compliance, appearance and consistency, we ask that you comply with the following guidelines:
- All sign verbiage is to be approved by Facilitates Planning and Management.
- All signs are to be ordered, made and installed by BSU Sign Shop and BSU Carpenters.
- Changes in sign verbiage shall be made by the BSU Sign Shop. Departments are required to submit a request for work order to the Sign Shop for desired changes. http://workcontrol.bsu.edu/.
- Signs and inserts shall not be removed or manipulated in any part, such as switching names to other locations, or altering the sign information in anyway, due to required record keeping through various systems and departments like TMA, Facilities Planning and Management and campus wide space planning.
- Employees are not to attach anything to the face of the sign, such as stickers or anything of a personal nature, including taping posts to the sign surface due to ADA compliance rules.
- Photo and other items are not to be inserted into the sign under the plastic lens.
- Non-approved changes to signs made by departments/individuals will be corrected and charged to that department.
- No Cabinets, bulletin boards, furniture, personal items, etc. can be within the required 18" clearance on all sides of the sign to comply with ADA compliance rules.
