WHAT IS ARCHITECTURAL SIGNAGE?

Architectural signage is a broad term for custom, top-quality signs for buildings and other man-made structures.

As opposed to cheap, mass-produced commercial signs, architectural signage is made to meet specific needs and lasts longer.

Architectural signs are:

Made of durable, quality materials with high attention to detail
Communicate wayfinding and other messages accurately and clearly
Coordinate with and compliment overall building design
Incorporate an organization’s branding

ARE ADA SIGNS ARCHITECTURAL SIGNS?

Yes, high-quality, ADA compliant signs are a type of architectural sign. Alternately, mass-produced plastic ADA signs fall under the category of commercial signage.

“ADA signage” refers to signs marking building rooms, spaces or features as required by U.S. federal law. In 1990 the Department of Justice published the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in order to prohibit discrimination against those with disabilities. ADA sign requirements enforced today were released as part of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (SAD).

In 2022 federal ADA sign requirements apply to everything from restroom signs to accessible elevator signs and conference room signage. Because legal regulations can be confusing, Green Dot Sign has compiled easy to understand ADA sign Requirements FAQs.
