3Wayfinding Signage Handbook/GUIDING PRINCIPLES

STRATEGY

A new comprehensive wayfinding program will promote a better visitor experience and improve traffic patterns by providing essential information that people and residents need to find the University and navigate the campus.

The Sign Family is based around the dynamics of the visitor experience as people approach the campus, orient themselves at campus entrances and find their destinations.

The Experience The Sign Type

A visitor typically approaches by car or train

Vehicular Directional, Parking ID, Street ID

A visitor orients at entrance, then goes by foot or by shuttle

Map Display, Shuttle map, Pedestrian Directional, Walk ID

A visitor finds a destination Building ID

SIGNAGE CATEGORIES

Vehicular

• Direct visitor to Parking Facility and visitor destinations approved by Stakeholders.

• Visitor parking lots are identified by large identification signs, all staff & student parking are identified by smaller signs.

• Secondary signage, such as accessible or reserved parking, will follow vehicular regulatory sign layouts.

Identification

• Comprehensive and consistent identification of buildings, streets and walks will help visitors find their destination.

• Identification plaques to be placed only on Princeton owned buildings, to be put on a light pole adjacent to building if approach is further in from major circulation. No dormitories or departments within builidngs will get identification plaques unless approved by University Architect Office.

Information

Map cases will be located at key points of arrival on campus. These orient the visitor as they disembark from train, car or shuttle.

Pedestrian

Directional signs attached to lampposts will feature visitor destinations approved by stakeholders . Pedestrian directionals will be located at starting/endpoint of walks.

When and where there should be signage on campus
