New Building Signage Project Underway
The first phase of installation for new exterior building signs on campus is underway as 80 new signs are being installed this week as part of the new campus signage system. The new identification signs, which are replacing the existing ones that are more than 20 years-old, will complement the navigation technology that is widely used today.
The new signs are being mounted directly onto buildings to more easily confirm that a visitor has reached the correct destination. They include the building name, street address and building abbreviation code that matches the campus map to help navigate the campus. You can view the building names, codes and street addresses online.
The new signage system aims to improve the experience for visitors, members of the university community and first responders as they navigate campus. It also will assist the increasing amount of deliveries to campus buildings.
If you have questions about the campus signage project, please contact Beth Wiser at bwiser@cmu.edu.
