ADA Sign Mapping

ADA SIGN MAPPING SERVICES

If you don’t work with ADA sign requirements everyday, they can be confusing. 

Knowing if, when and where ADA signs are required is critical for your business or organization. Meeting signage requirements enables you to assist those the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (SAD) are intended to serve and avoid penalties for failing to meet requirements.

Green Dot Sign offers ADA sign mapping services to ensure you get the right signs in all the right places.  

WHAT IS ADA SIGN MAPPING?

ADA sign mapping starts with where and what building signage is required based on federal ADA signage requirements.  This is then imposed on to blue prints for the building, by numbering the locations where signs are required.  The resulting map cross references with a spreadsheet that has information on each numbered location.

This helps building owners, GC’s, architects, interior designers, sign designers and brands as they design and make signage decisions.

ADA SIGN MAPPING DELIVERABLES

ADA sign mapping typically includes two project deliverables.  First, a map of your building or space identifying where ADA signage is needed.  Number markings on the map directly connect to a spreadsheet.

 

ADA Sign Map

 

In this example, each blue circle identifies a location where one or more signs are legally required.  The abbreviation 1F means first floor, 2F for second floor, and so on.  Following the floor designation is the sign number, which is detailed in the spreadsheet.

This second deliverable is a spreadsheet, listing each sign number.  The sheet then includes suggested sign copy, required sign type, and other information relevant to your particular project.  

ADA Sign Mapping Spreadsheet

In this example ADA sign mapping spreadsheet, each sign is listed in a separate row. In the column for each sign, suggested signage copy, sign type, notes, employee only or no entry considerations and other (often used for installation notes) are provided.  Notice that location 1F.08 includes two signs.
