A. INTRODUCTION
Introduction to Sign Standards As a part of its ongoing commitment to providing modern and accessible campuses, the University of Technology, Sydney commissioned Signcorp Australasia to upgrade its Signage Standards. The standards now address a significantly wider range of contexts, whilst recognising the needs of all users. The original manual dated July 1996 was prepared by Harry Williamson. This manual was expanded considerably by Minale Tattersfield Bryce and Partners (MTB&P) in October 1998. The intent and graphic principles of the original manual have been maintained in the subsequent editions. Significant modifications have subsequently been incorporated in 2001 by Signcorp in order to address evolving design and access issues. These standards will assist in identifying UTS and its campuses and in giving directions and information to students, staff and visitors in a coordinated, functional and consistent manner. Their implementation will also enhance the image of UTS as a modern university and convey a clear sense of purpose and corporate identity. To be effective it is important that UTS staff, consultants and contractors adhere to the principles and guidelines set out in this manual.The use of this manual is commended to all those concerned with wayfinding and effective communication of UTS and its campuses.

Section A: Introduction
UTS, University of Technology, Sydney
The University, which came into existence on 1 January 1990, resulted from amalgamations brought about by the restructuring of higher education in Australia. It comprises the former University of Technology, Sydney, the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education of the Sydney College of Advanced Education. The University undertakes its teaching and research programs through nine faculties, some of which are organised into schools or departments. In addition, a number of centres and institutes carry out teaching and research work that falls across discipline boundaries or cannot be undertaken within the existing structure of faculties. Further, a number of divisions and units provide academic and administrative support. Campuses The University has three campuses: the City campus, Kuring-gai campus and St Leonards campus.

The Role of Signage
Signs contribute significantly to the ease of movement of people from place to place, especially in busy, complex or unfamiliar public places such as universities. To be effective signs are required to be functional in terms of their siting, legibility, comprehensiveness and ergonomics. Signs also need to enhance the corporate identity and to fit the architecture, urban spaces and interiors of the institution they serve. The UTS Sign Standards is a guide to signage principles for identification, information and direction signage within UTS properties. The manual contains graphic design details of a range of sign types to cover most typical uses and guidelines for their selection and planning. These standards should be strictly adhered to. Wherever possible it has been the intent of this document to specify proprietary signage systems so as to ensure the ease of ordering, maintenance and product consistency required in a large complex property portfolio which must endure the demands of constant change and yet retain a high standard of quality. Customised manufacture will often solve an immediate problem but will not allow accurate repetition, nor provide ease of reorder or maintenance. In most applications of the sign standards some interpretation of the guidelines will be needed as will consideration of issues of sign planning relative to specific circumstances of a site. The use of suitably qualified design consultants is recommended for implementation of major signage projects within UTS. Their task and a successful result will be assisted by compliance with the UTS Sign Standards and by close liaison with UTS Facilities Management Unit staff.

How to Use this Manual
When procuring signs the orderer and supplier must be familiar with the role of several sections of this manual. While it is beneficial to have an understanding of all sections contained in this document, the following four sections must be understood and relevant parts given to the supplier when ordering signage: Section E, External Signage details each type of sign which can be used outside university buildings and around the external spaces of the UTS campus. Each kind of sign is given a sign type number for easy identification. Only the relevant pages for each sign type needing to be ordered should be extracted from this section and given to the supplier. Section F, Internal Signage details each type of sign which can be used inside university buildings and spaces. Each kind of sign is given a sign type number for easy identification. Only the relevant pages for each sign type needing to be ordered should be extracted from this section and given to the supplier. Section C, Graphics Standards details the design rules and considerations which apply to all UTS signage, for example: typographic style, letter and pictogram heights, margins and alignments, finishes and colours. This entire section must be given to the supplier. Section H, Construction details the construction methods to be used for each sign type. This includes information regarding signage sytems, components, materials and assembly. This entire section must be given to the supplier. In short, when ordering signage the following parts of this document must be given to the supplier: All of Section C, Graphics Standards. Necessary sign types from Section E, External Signage and Section F, Internal Signage. All of Section H, Construction.
Wayfinding Signage All public space wayfinding signs are controlled and maintained through the Facilities Management Unit (FMU). Subsequently, this type of signage must also be ordered through the FMU. To ensure that the guidelines in this manual are adhered to, scaled artwork must be approved by the FMU before ordering. Room & Workstation Signage (Sign Types: 7.30 - 33) All door plates are to be ordered by the faculty or department. This specifically relates to sign types: 7.30 - 33. All other signage is to be administered through the Facilities Management Unit. Please see above for ordering.

UTS Corporate Identity
UTS Corporate Identity Following the amalgamation in 1990 of the constituent bodies that formed the University of Technology a typographic logo which includes the UTS acronym was adopted. The logo was designed by Harry Williamson and officially endorsed by the University on 27 February 1992. The logo consists of two elements, the emblem and the UTS acronym. The emblem incorporates three major components. The most prominent feature is the anchor drawn from the coat of arms of the city of Sydney where the largest campus of UTS is located. It reinforces the Universitys traditional close links with industry in the city. The base of the anchor forms one of the spirals of the double helix, the representation of the DNA molecule. The double helix is meant to reflect the innovative, technological character of the University. The wave motif at the base complements the other elements in the design, and symbolises the maritime position of the city. The UTS acronym is the preferred way of referring to the University rather than using its lengthy name. The emblem may be used by itself or with the UTS acronym. The logo must be used as is and not varied in any way. If scaling is required this must be done proportionally. The specified relationship between the emblem and acronym must be strictly maintained. The UTS acronym must never be set as type. Reproduction is only to be from bromide or electronic artwork available from the University. The horizontal logo is the version generally to be used in signage either as monumental letters or as sign panels. The vertical logo is to be used only where the background of a building on which it is placed demands a symmetrical solution.The background to the shield on the emblem is Teal Blue (PMS321). The letters UTS and the vertical lines are black. The emblem is always positive and not reversed. The UTS logo and its elements of emblem and acronym are to be used on signs only as shown. The use of the logo on signs is specified for each sign type in these sign standards. Note: Reproduction of the logo, which comprises the emblem and acronym, is only to be from bromide or electronic artwork available from UTS.

B. SIGN PLANNING
Sign planning means determining the sign types, locations and sequences of their messages to guide a person to their required destination. Planning of signs occurs at several levels and for different types of users. Those familiar with a site need less guidance than a first-time user. There are different considerations for vehicular and pedestrian signage and to cater for different groups such as staff, students, visitors, service and deliveries and those with special access requirements. This means deciding on general principles but adding layers where needed for specific circumstances. Planning is made easier by directing to a hierarchy of destinations using a range of sign types. Just as road signs direct a motorist to city, then suburb, street and house number signs in UTS adopt a hierarchy of campus, faculty, school, department and then rooms. Not all destinations can be presented on every sign so a descending order of importance as above is used. Similarly signs have a hierarchy of importance and size from those directing or identifying from a distance to those at the last stage of a journey or which are viewed at close range such as door signs. Sign types in this manual are divided into external and internal signs and within these the three main types, identification, information and direction signs. A diagram of the journey and sign hierarchy is outlined first in this section, followed by planning principles and guidelines.

Section B: Sign Planning

Sign Hierarchy
The hierarchy of signs is shown here as a journey from a distant location to a specific destination and to then depart the site. The journey involves directing to the site, identification of it, directions to destinations, information to help along the way, identification of destinations and directions to exit. These signs types include identification, information and direction.
Although presented sequentially journeys are usually more random and non-linear, and not all sign types are included here. The diagram does serve however to delineate the different sign types, their hierarchy and purpose and provides an introduction to understanding of sign types and how they are used.

Planning Principles
Signs in UTS campuses are to be planned to provide a progressive delivery of information from approach roads to a specific destination such as a particular facility or room. Wayfinding This is to be achieved by employing wayfinding principles of a hierarchy of destinations and hierarchy of signs. The hierarchy of destinations has been described in this section and the range of sign types to be used for a typical journey defined. A hierarchy of destinations means that signs are used to direct to the campus, then to major destinations, secondary or minor destinations in descending order of importance. This reduces information overload in a complex environment and the number of signs and messages needed while adding clarity and confidence. A hierarchy of sign types and sizes is used to deliver this hierarchy of destination information ranging from large or important signs to be viewed from a distance to small signs that are viewed at close range which confirm arrival at the final destination. Locating Signs Once the hierarchy of destinations for a particular site has been decided, the planning of signs, selection of appropriate sign types and locating these follows. Studies of typical journeys for various user groups should be undertaken and decision points identified. Planning of signs is best done by walking the site both physically and metaphorically on plans. This should be done as if through the eyes of a first time user and as if not familiar with the site. Through the journey questions will arise such as where am I now and which way do I go, particularly when a choice is presented. This is where signs are needed. This determines where signs are to be placed. Other considerations may seem obvious but include locating signs where they are readily noticed and not obscured by buildings, other signs,
passing traffic or vegetation. Signs are to be sited to fit the natural patterns of circulation. Signs should be located close to the point where the message is to be conveyed. Vehicular direction signs should be located in advance of the decision point. Sign Types Two sizes of signs are available for external vehicular directions and internal direction signs. Generally the larger signs are used along main circulation routes and to direct to major destinations. The smaller size is for use along minor circulation routes. External and internal direction signs are available in a range of types; high, low or monolith for external and ceiling or wall mounted for internal signs. Selection of external signs will depend on the site and its vegetation, the traffic flow and speed and the distance from which a sign is to be read. The high sign is more visible with the low sign being less obtrusive in the landscape. Within buildings ceiling direction signs should be used wherever possible with wall and blade signs supplementing these or where high ceilings would not allow for ceiling signs. Signs are used to direct to destinations at turn-off points along main circulation routes. Signage may be by exception, ie. to direct only to turn-off destinations or depending on the number of messages, signs may also confirm straight ahead directions. Along long straight roads or corridors signs should also repeat directions given earlier for reassurance. Sign Messages The number of messages on signs should be limited especially on vehicular direction signs where messages have to be absorbed in a short time. The amount of information can be increased on signs where there is time to stop and look (eg. on maps or directories).

UTS Sign Standards

Planning Principles
Signs at decision points should have messages in each direction grouped and within this grouping closer destinations listed before those more distant. Where the number of messages at any point is more than can be fitted on one sign additional sign panels or two signs may be used. On long straight runs it is preferable to separate these over some distance with the first one carrying the more important or more immediate message. Sign Heights Signs are installed at different heights depending on their type and reading distance. Heights are prescribed for each sign type and should be strictly adhered to so that a consistent layering of information is presented. Consistency Consistency in location as well as of size, design, colour, graphics and message sequencing and conventions aid in achieving familiarity and efficiency in the recognition and understanding of signs. Sign Sizes A limited range of sizes is available for each sign type. This provides for a consistent presentation of signs and the information they carry and assists in maintaining visual order. A range of sizes also contributes to the hierarchy of signs allowing for identification,information or directional messages to be ranked in order of importance. Signs sizes are also related to legibility and readability. Signs to be read from a distance are larger than those for closer viewing. Generally larger signs have larger letter heights either for better readability or because of their relative importance. Sign sizes are based around modular sizes to ensure a consistent look and proportion, and also provide for economical use of available material sizes especially for sheet materials such as aluminium for sign faces.
By using these standards and the principles set out, planning and selection of the right sign type will be made easier and the effectiveness of UTS signage increased.

C. GRAPHICS STANDARDS
A sign system is built from a number of elements that contribute to a coordinated and consistent visual language. Graphic standards are important in providing the rules for control of this look and to ensure easy recognition and acceptance as a comprehensive and authoritative system. Graphic standards also define the relationship between signage and the Universitys corporate identity of which it is an extension. Graphic standards include the use of the logo, typefaces, letter sizes, graphic layouts, arrows, pictograms, and colours and the way these are combined. Not every detail of a sign can be prescribed as each one is conditioned by its circumstance, however it is imperative that the graphic standards as set out here are faithfully followed with no variation. Only artwork in bromide or in electronic form supplied by UTS is to be used in the reproduction of the logo, typefaces, arrows and pictograms on signs.

Logo and Acronym
Acronym This is used only for signs viewed from a distance at which the use of the emblem would be too small to be readily recognisable. The only current use is as a monumental sign at the top of the City campus tower building. For this use the sign is white against the building colour.
Horizontal Logo This is the preferred version for all signage. For monumental signs the material is to be stainless steel. The background to the emblem is to be painted Teal Blue (PMS321). The logo may also be engraved into natural building materials such as granite, with the emblem background sandblasted or stippled to provide contrast. On panel signs the background of the emblem is to be Teal Blue (PMS321) and the acronym and vertical lines black.
Vertical Logo This version may be used on monumental signs only where the background to the sign or the building on which it is applied is best suited to a symmetrical design solution. The materials and finishes for the sign are to be the same as for the horizontal logo. UTS Name The full name University of Technology, Sydney is represented by the acronym UTS. On signs only the logo, which comprises the emblem and the UTS acronym, is to be used.

Typeface
The main signage typeface to be used is Gill Sans Regular in caps and lower case. Gill Sans Regular in all caps is used only for external and internal monumental names which may include campus, faculty, school or department names, generic building names eg. LIBRARY or identification of a particular function eg. INFORMATION. It is also used in all caps on fire exit door signs and fire cupboards but not on any other door signs.
Gill Sans Bold caps and lower case is used for headings on directories. Gill Sans Bold caps is used for the words Danger or Warning on notices and regulatory signs.
Adobe Garamond Semi-bold caps and lower case is used only for monumental honorific names on external and internal signs eg. Dunbar Building and Guthrie Theatre. It is not to be used in all caps or for any other purpose. Where honorific building names appear on panel signs or direction signs Gill Sans Regular caps and lower case is used.

Letter Spacing and Heights
Letter Spacing All type and sign Gill Sans Regular messages are to be consistently letter spaced for a coordinated and very legible appearance.
As a general guide for good readability the letter height on signs should be 10mm high for each 6 metres of viewing distance. For road signs the speed of travel and letternumber the spacing Incorrect of letters in the message bring(tooother factors, in close) however for the lower road speed environments of universities a lower letter height than used for public roads is acceptable. Direction signs require a greater letter height than information signs.
Incorrect letter spacing (too spaced)
Faculty of Engineering
It is also important that text is not stretched or compressed. In other words, that the proportions of the letter forms are not distorted. Letter Heights
The correct letter spacing (sometimes referred to as kerning or tracking) example at right should be used as a guide. Type should be correctly kerned (letter spaced) with each letter clearly distinguishable. The letters should not be too widely spaced apart nor too closely spaced.
Letter heights specified for some of the main sign types are: Vehicular direction signs, internal roads, carparks and service areas - 60mm. Incorrect proportions External pedestrian direction signs - 60mm. Large internal direction signs - 50mm. Small internal direction signs - 30mm.
Incorrect Building directory listings - 20mm. proportions (stretched)
Faculty of Engineering Faculty of Engineering

The heights of lettering on signs depends on the importance of the sign, at what distance it will be read, contrast, and on internal signs the slat size of the sign system. For external signs such as Honorific and Logo signs, location and architecture will also influence the final decision.
Door signs - 17mm.

Arrow and Message Conventions
Sign Message Hierarchy For all internal signage the following hierarchy of information should be followed: 1) Arrow directions hierarchy
Arrow and Message Conventions Messages in the same direction should be grouped together with straight ahead directions at the top, those to the left next, followed by those to the right and then those directing down. Straight ahead and left pointing directions as well as down directions should be aligned flush left. Right pointing directions should be aligned flush right. When a message is too long and runs onto a second panel: If the text is justified left (eg. for up, left and down arrow directions) then the arrow should appear on the first line of text. If the text is justified right (eg. for right arrow directions) then the arrow should appear on the second line of text. For listings which require indenting a space of 2 x the cap height from the text margin is to be used. On wayfinders, subheadings are not to have directional arrows. These margins also apply to directories.
(eg. up, then left, then right, then down directions.)

Room & Workstation Numbering Conventions
When listing room numbers and ranges of room numbers on signage the guidelines shown on the following three pages should be followed. For a specific room number, most campuses require only the level and room number to be listed. However, due to the more complex buildings at Kuring-gai and Haymarket, these campuses require the building number (Kuring-gai) and block number (Haymarket) to be listed as well. For each signage message, when specifying ranges of numbers, the level and building number only appear with the first room in the set, all additional rooms are listed as the room number only. Note: For the allocation of room or workstation numbers to new spaces refer to UTS Design Guidelines: 21.2 Numbering Methodology.

Baseline Conventions
Baseline Conventions The baseline conventions set for this standard are applicable to all UTS signage unless otherwise specified. Text is to be centred vertically on the slat using the overall text height - from the top of the ascender to the bottom of the descender. If the text is on a plate (ie. not on a sign composed of slats) then follow the baselines given on the drawings for each sign type. Pictograms and arrows are to be vertically centred on either the slat or the overall text height (for signs composed of slats) or on the overall text height (for signs which do not have slats). Note: All baseline guides given in this manual where both text and pictograms and/or arrows reside on approximately the same baseline - are for the text. Pictograms and arrows are to be centred according to the conventions outlined above. Horizontal margins are specified independently for each sign type given within this manual.

Pictogram and Text Spacing
Pictogram and Text Spacing The following guidelines apply when spacing pictograms and text. Text should be margined from pictograms a distance equal to the text cap height. Where two or more pictograms appear on the same line, pictograms should be spaced seventy five percent of the text cap height from each other. These measurements for spacing should be followed unless otherwise stated. Text and pictogram heights are given on the drawings for each sign type.

Pictograms
Pictograms can aid understanding of signs by both English speaking and non English speaking viewers. As far as possible only pictograms that have been researched and properly tested are to be used. Where pictograms are included on directories or numbered door signs they are to be in the positive form. When they are applied directly to a door or a plaque they are to be reversed into a background / field colour of Blue Pantone 301C. Pictograms are to be the same colour and applied in the same manner as the typeface of the direction messages ie. engraved and paint filled, mask and sprayed or vinyl.
Pictograms that are required to be in a specific colour according to international or Australian standards are to comply with those requirements. These standard colours are indicated beneath the relevant pictograms on the facing page. Standard RTA symbols are to be used for vehicular direction and regulatory signs e.g. no right turn, no entry etc. For symbols on a dark background colour - eg. Blue PMS 301C or Green PMS 321C - to increase contrast with the green panel colour PMS 321, a white key line is required around the outside of the coloured symbol. A line of 1mm thickness is to be used when the symbol is 50mm high.
A white line is to be used around symbols on a dark background being used on a dark panel. The line is to be 1mm thick when the symbol is 50mm high.

Access Issues
Access The internationally recognised access pictogram is to be used to indicate facilities that provide access to people with mobility disabilities and sensory impairments and to identify points of access to such facilities. On all signs the access pictograms background / field colour is to be in Blue Pantone 301C.
Auditory Assistance The pictogram for auditory assistance for those with impaired hearing is to be used to identify areas that have enhanced listening systems such as hearing loops installed. The auditory assistance pictograms background / field colour is to be Blue Pantone 301C. Note: This is to apply throughout all UTS campuses for all UTS staff, students and visitors. For further instructions on the use of these pictograms and the use of Braille in buildings and related facilities refer to Australian Standard AS 1428.1 Design for access and mobility.

Tactile Signage Considerations
Where designated, tactile signage should be used and built to the following standards: Colour Contrast Characters and symbols shall contrast with their background - either light characters on a dark background or dark characters on a light background. Raised Characters or Symbols Letters and numbers on signs shall be raised 0.8mm minimum and shall be sans serif characters. For raised character sizing refer to AS 1428.1 and the BCA. Symbols or pictographs on signs shall be raised 0.8mm minimum. Symbols of Accessibility Accessible facilities are required to be identified using the international symbol of accessibility. Mounting Location and Height Interior signage shall be located alongside the door on the latch side and shall be mounted at a height between 1400mm and 1600mm above the finished floor. Toilet Facilities Toilet facilities should include the international symbol of access, male or female symbol where relevant, and be supported with the written text. Duplication of conventional and tactile signage should be avoided, with tactile signage taking precedence. Australian Standards Due to ongoing developments of standards for access, reference should be made to the current Australian Standards AS 1428.1 for the current minimum requirements.

Sign Class
A unique sign number has been allocated to each class of sign eg. all internal wayfinding signs begin with the number 6.
Variations within a Class

Used to distinguish major variations within the main sign family. For example, this number may indicate signs which differ in slat height or panel size within a family.
Panel Width
(May be omitted) Preferred panel widths are indicated in the drawings. Note: if a sign has more than one bank of slats, this number indicates the width of only one bank - not the entire width of the sign.
Banks of Slats
(May be omitted) If the letter D is included in the sign description, then the sign consists of two banks of panels. If the letter is omitted, only one bank of panels is required.

Corporate Branding (Acronym)
1.00
Purpose The UTS acronym monumental sign is used only when viewed at a long distance and when the emblem would be at a small size making it not readily distinguishable. The only current use of this sign is on the top of the tower building of the city campus. Location On the facade or roofs of buildings that are prominent from a long distance. If there is no restriction to its viewing the sign should be placed at the left hand side of the building or on the side that provides the best view of the sign from the street it faces. Location will depend on the architecture of the building and signs for each location will need to be specifically designed. Signs of this type will require submission of a building application to the relevant council for approval. Construction Fabricated aluminium or stainless steel three dimensional letters fixed to the building facade in a gauge suitable to ensure flat even surfaces at the specified height of the letters. Material should not be less than 1.6mm thick. The letters are painted white or finished in no. 4 polish stainless steel. The sides of the letters are to be painted grey (if faces are white) to provide a shadowline and definition to the letters. If the letters are to be internally illuminated then the inside of the letters must be painted gloss white regardless of the external colour. On light coloured buildings the letters are to be painted black. Paint to be used can be external grade baked enamel, powder coat or 2 pack polyurethane.
The sign may be floodlit for night time viewing or may be made in a hollow section with the inside of the letter shapes lit by white neon and spaced off the wall to give a halo lighting effect. All fabricated letters placed on building facades must be fixed with either aluminium or stainless steel fixings to minimise corrosion and maintenance issues. Dissimilar metals must have nonmetalic separators. Letters greater than 50mm deep must have suitable bird mesh proofing to the reverse to avoid nesting and damage from wildlife. Graphics The acronym sign is to be constructed according to the UTS corporate identity with the correct letter forms and relationship between letters and vertical lines see Section C, Graphics Standards. Some slight thickening of the vertical lines may be required for visual or structural reasons. Dimensions Size of the sign will depend on location, the building it is on and the distance it may be seen from. The size of the sign should always have clear space around it to provide a background field to the sign.

Logo
1.10 - 11
There are two versions of the logo sign: horizontal format which is to be used in the majority of applications vertical format which is to be used only where the design of the building or the sign background demands a symmetrical design. The sign is rarely accompanied by the name University of Technology Sydney (see Full Identity, 1.20). Where the campus name is included it is to be in Gill Sans Regular all caps. Dimensions Size of sign will depend on location, building design and distance it is seen from. The size of signs should always have clear space around it to provide a background field to the sign. Each application of the sign will need to be specially designed. As a guide the height of the UTS letters is not likely to be less than 360mm or more than 720mm. When the campus name is included the cap height of the letters should be no more than half the height of the letters UTS. The name may be on one line or two.
Purpose The UTS logo sign is used as monumental signage to identify UTS campuses from a distance and the immediate vicinity. The logo may be used in conjunction with the campus name, see Logo & Text, 1.30. Location On the facades of main campus buildings visible from a distance or from surrounding streets. They should be located where they are readily visible by passing or approaching vehicular traffic or pedestrians. Signs are to be located high enough to not be obstructed in view by passing traffic - above 3 metres or more depending on the architecture and specific site. Construction Fabricated aluminium emblem with stainless steel emblem detail, three dimensional letters and vertical lines. The background of the emblem is to be painted Teal Blue (PMS321) as per the logo specifications. The front surfaces of the emblem, letters and lines are to be satin polished no. 4 finish. The acronym letters should not be less than 20mm thick. When the campus name is included (see Logo & Text, 1.30) its construction is to be three dimensional fabricated stainless steel, with minimum depth of 10mm. Paint to be used can be external grade baked enamel, powder coat or 2 pack polyurethane. (See Section G, Construction for details). Graphics The logo sign is to be constructed strictly according to the UTS corporate identity with the correct emblem and acronym letters and relationship between these and vertical lines faithfully reproduced.

All other graphics can be either engraved and paint filled or screen printed in an approved ink of durable quality when applied to baked enamel. Map graphics must always be orientated to the users viewpoint. That is, when the map is viewed by the user in its final location, all detail at the top must be geographically in front of the reader. Dimensions Monolith map signs are 600mm wide and maps should be no higher than 1800mm from the ground level, nor should information be lower than 750mm from ground level.
Purpose To provide information and orientation to pedestrians at entrances to UTS campuses and within campuses at significant decision making points. UTS Map signs should provide overall University orientation, campus orientation and the immediate University precinct (eg. City Campus). Locations Map Signs are located: near campus entrances at major footpath intersections at significant exit points from carparks Monolith map signs should be located away from walls or obstacles to allow both sides of the monolith to provide information. Construction Modulex Pacific Exterior construction with curved faces, replaceable aluminium panelling, graffiti resistant external grade baked enamel paint finish and vandal resistant fixings. Sign comprises a single aluminium post mounted to suitably sized concrete plinth (designed in accordance with the manufacturers specifications) or mounted to suitable existing secure susbstrate. Map panels comprise aluminium panels fitted internally to the external face panel, with concealed stud welded fixings to the inside to retain the map panel in place. Installation of mounting foot to allow concealment of up to 50mm depth below adjacent ground level, or if exposed, by use of stainless steel acorn nuts. (See Section H, Construction for details).

Banked Directories
5.00D - 20D
Dimensions For more specific graphics, dimensions and margins see information provided for single banked signs. Sign types: 5.00, 5.10, 5.20.
Purpose All variations of sign types 5.00, 5.01 and 5.02 may have an additional directory placed adjacent to form a double bank of slats. This provides space for additional directory information. When specifying a double banked sign the letter D is amended to the end of the sign type number, eg. 5.10/600 becomes 5.10/600D when a second bank of panels is added. Note: For purposes of economy only an illustrative number of double banked directories have been shown graphically on the following page. Locations See information provided for single banked signs. Sign types: 5.00, 5.10, 5.20. Construction Double banked directories are created by placing two directories side by side, or, the panels may be extended to create a single double width sign. Where the panels have been extended, the sign is treated as two banks of panels. For specific construction guidelines see information provided for single banked signs. Sign types: 5.00, 5.10, 5.20. Graphics The UTS logo is not included on the right hand header panel. The main directory title (eg. campus, building, faculty name etc.) may either run across both panels, or, it may only be constrained to the left hand panel only. In either case one or two lines of text may be included.

Cap height of letters on header panel 40mm and 20mm on slats. Listing is to be in two groups; the top group relating specifically to faculty, school or department information and the bottom group to common use areas and facilities, eg. library, lecture rooms, administration, student union etc. One blank slat is to be provided between the two types of listings. Listings for each group are to be alphabetical. Room numbers may be omitted. On double banked directories: The UTS logo is not included on the right hand header panel. The main directory title (eg. campus, building, faculty name etc.) may either run across both panels, or, it may only be constrained to the left hand panel only. In either case one or two lines of text may be included. Dimensions Sign sizes are to be as shown on drawings. Widths are 600mm and 750mm. Heights vary depending upon the number of slats used. Both sizes may be banked together to cater for extensive listings.
Purpose To repeat the information contained in the building directory and to identify the level number and if appropriate a faculty or school name. To provide directional information for effective wayfinding. To display a complete inventory of all major areas at a particular level of a building including minor areas at that level not included in the building directory. Facilities such as toilets, or telephones are also listed. If arrows are not required see sign types: 5.10, 5.10D for standard Level Directories. Location On walls at each level at major level change points eg. lifts, escalators or stairs. Construction Aluminium slat system. Refer Section H, Construction: Campus Breakdown by Sign System for details of which system. If a directory becomes too long, or a horizontal orientation is more appropriate a double banked directory may be specified. Double banked directories are created by placing two directories side by side, or, the panels may be extended to create a single double width sign. Where the panels have been extended, the sign is treated as two banks of panels. When specifying a double banked sign the letter D is amended to the end of the sign type number, eg. 6.00/600 becomes 6.00/600D when a second bank of panels is added. Graphics Header panel to have painted satin black background or level colour background when colour coding is used. Where a heading is required for the top body slat this is to be in Gill Sans bold caps and lower case to contrast with listings below.

Dimensions Sign sizes and layouts are to be as shown on drawing. Sign messages should not completely fill the sign length available. A longer sign with space at the end of the message is preferable to a cramped layout.
Purpose Wall signs are used to give directional information where suspended signs are not able to be used eg. because of high ceilings, or are used to supplement ceiling signs. The large sign is used to: give directions from entrances to major destinations give directions at intersections and turn-offs confirm directions along main circulation routes. The small sign is used to: give directions to secondary destinations along main circulation routes give directions to secondary destinations along secondary circulation routes. Locations Wall signs are located on walls in view from directions of travel at 1800mm from the top of the sign to the floor. Construction Aluminium slat system. Refer Section H, Construction: Campus Breakdown by Sign System for details of which system. Graphics Signs at entrances and exits and at changes of level may have top slat identifying faculty, department or school. These black header panels to have white lettering in vinyl (refer Section E, Internal Signage: General Product Specifications). Signs to have a preferred maximum of five (5) messages.

Wall Wayfinders (Double)
6.20D - 21D
Purpose All variations of sign types 6.20 and 6.21 may have an additional sign placed adjacent to the first to form a double bank of slats. This provides space for additional information. For numbering purposes the width of the single bank of slats is still used for the sign number (not the new double width). However, the letter D is amended to the end of the sign number to denote a double banked sign. Note: For purposes of economy only an illustrative number of double banked signs have been shown graphically on the following page. Locations See information provided for single banked signs, Wall Wayfinders, 6.20 - 21. Construction Double banked signs are created by placing two signs side by side, or, the panels may be extended to create a single sign, double the width of the single sign. Where the panels have been extended, the sign is treated as two banks of panels. For specific construction guidelines see information provided for single banked signs, Wall Wayfinders, 6.20 - 21. Graphics Black header panels must run across the entire width of the double banked sign. If the text on the header panel does not extend to the second panel, the second panel is still to be coloured black. If the sign has a black header panel (eg. for a department, faculty, area etc.) the text may run across the entire width of the sign. Dimensions For more specific graphics, dimensions and margins see information provided for single banked signs, Wall Wayfinders, 6.20 - 21.

6.30D - 31D
Purpose All variations of sign types 6.00 and 6.01 may have an additional sign placed adjacent to the first to form a double bank of slats. This provides space for additional information. For numbering purposes the width of the single bank of slats is still used for the sign number (not the new double width). However, the letter D is amended to the end of the sign number to denote a double banked sign. Note: For purposes of economy only an illustrative number of double banked signs have been shown graphically on the following page. Locations See information provided for single banked signs, Suspended Wayfinders, 6.30 - 31. Construction Double banked signs are created by placing two signs side by side with a 100mm gap separating them. The exceptions to this rule are: when space limitations do not allow for a double width sign with a 100mm gap; if a faculty or department header exceeds one panel width and needs to run onto the second. Note: in all cases both banks must contain an equal number of slats. For specific construction guidelines see information provided for single banked signs, Suspended Wayfinders, 6.30 - 31. Graphics When required, black header panels must appear on both banks of panels (or run across the entire width of the double banked sign if there is no 100mm gap).
Dimensions For more specific graphics, dimensions and margins see information provided for single banked signs, Suspended Wayfinders, 6.30 - 31.

Where another bank of slats is needed, another sign may be added next to the first to create one large sign. The overall width of this new sign may not exceed 2400mm + 100mm gap. NOTE: The width of the single bank of slats is still used for the sign number (not the new double width). The letter 'D' is amended to the end of the sign number to denote a double banked sign.

Projecting Wayfinders
6.40 - 41
Projecting signs should use both sides for messages. Dimensions Sign sizes are to be as shown on drawings. Widths are of 750mm only.
Purpose Blade signs are used to give directional information where suspended signs are not able to be used eg. because of high ceilings, or are used to supplement ceiling signs. The large sign is used to: give directions from entrances to major destinations. give directions at intersections and turn-offs. confirm directions along main circulation routes. The small sign is used to: give directions to secondary destinations along main circulation routes. give directions to secondary destinations along secondary circulation routes. Locations Blade signs are mounted on walls projecting into corridors perpendicular to the direction of viewing or travel, at 2400mm from underside of the sign to the floor. Where ceiling height is limited, installation height must be no less than 2100mm clearance. Construction Aluminium slat system. Refer Section H, Construction: Campus Breakdown by Sign System for details of which system. Graphics Sign messages should not completely fill the sign length available. A longer sign with space at the end of the message is preferable to a cramped layout. Signs at entrances and exits and at changes of level may have top slat identifying faculty, department or school. These black header panels to have lettering in vinyl. Signs to preferably have a maximum of five (5) messages.

Monumental and Honorific
7.00 - 01
Consistent letter heights should be maintained where possible within a campus, building or floor level and across signs of similar importance.
Purpose These signs are to identify major areas or rooms, including faculties, schools, departments, and generic names such as library, gymnasium or lecture theatre or honorific names accorded to these areas in rooms. Monumental names provide an alternative to wall signs and are to be used when a greater sense of importance is needed to be conveyed. Locations On walls beside or above entrances to areas or rooms being identified. Construction Names are to consist of individual letters computer cut from 6mm satin natural anodised aluminium with horizontal linished finish on front. Fixed to walls by pins and adhesive such as epoxy or acid free silicone. Graphics Names other than honorific names are to be in Gill Sans Regular typeface all caps. Honorific names are to be Adobe Garamond Semi-bold caps and lower case. Dimensions Monumental and honorific name signs should be located at consistent heights, generally 2100mm to the underside of signs above bulkheads or openings or beside entrances 1800mm above the floor to the top of the sign. Letter size will depend on the space available, viewing distance and the need to fit in with architectural details. Three sizes of letter height may be used: 80, 120 or 160mm. On signs that are to be viewed from long distances or need to be particularly prominent e.g. INFORMATION a larger size of 200 or 240mm may be used.

G. SPECIAL CASES
Although extensive, it is recognised that the UTS Sign Standards is by no means exhaustive. There will be occasions when a sign design, in order to be most effective, does not conform readily to any of the sign types specified within this manual. This is particularly true of exterior signage. When it is deemed necessary to produce a custom sign, the services of a design consultancy should be utilised. The designer should ultimately create a solution which is consistent with the sign types and design principles outlined in this document.

H. CONSTRUCTION
This section contains information regarding the installation, materials used and other general manufacturing considerations necessary to ensure the quality and durability of both external and internal signage for UTS. This section must be understood in conjunction with each relevant sign type in either Section E, External Signage or Section F, Internal Signage as well as Section C, Graphics Standards.
September 2003
UTS Sign Standards
Section H: Construction
167
Principles
Sign construction is to meet the criteria of maximum durability, minimum maintenance and ease of change or replacement. To meet these criteria and to ensure the consistency of signage design over time, the UTS Sign Standards have been based on selected proprietary signage systems. The preferred signage system for each campus is nominated in this section. Modulex components have been selected as the preferred system wherever possible due to larger graphic proportions and a proprietary graffiti proof painting system which will ensure long term consistency in colour reproduction. The example drawings are therefore based on Modulex sizes, and are to be adapted to the nearest standard size when Spandex systems are designated for the campus. Where a pre-designated system solution is not available these criteria are to be met by quality of construction, choice of materials and finishes, and the use of readily available and standardised manufacturing techniques. The use of pre-finished materials is preferred with minimum post-finishing and painting. General Principles Signs are to be economic to produce using available production processes and standard and readily available sections, materials and sizes. Materials and construction are to be consistent on signs across the site as are fastenings and installation details. The main materials are aluminium, stainless steel and galvanised steel. For some sign types and in the construction drawings both aluminium and galvanised steel SHS sections are specified for sign frames. Aluminium is preferred except when structural requirements demand the use of steel. Generally posts are to be round with flat capped tops and sign panels flat with no visible fixings.
Signs are to be constructed to be resistant to corrosion, have a long life and to require minimum maintenance. Dissimilar metals such as aluminium and steel are to be separated with non-metallic spacers to avoid bi-metallic corrosion. UTS logos for external use are to be acid etched and paint filled when practical, however low volume orders may require the use of machine engraving and paint filling. In these circumstances the smallest practical cutter size is to be used to provide sharp edges to logo detail, particularly in small signs. For internal signs in particular it is important to maintain paint gloss levels at 50% or lower to assist visibility and contrast. Lettering and graphics are to be masked and spray painted or permanent external grade cast vinyl equivalent to 3M Scotchcal 7725/220 Series opaque permanent film (matt for internal signs, gloss for external signs). Screenprinting may be used for signs required in quantity however external signs should only use long life screen printing techniques such as the Endurasign system. Graphics on signs are to conform to standards set down in this manual and are to be accurately reproduced from bromide artwork or electronic files. All work and materials are to comply with the latest editions of relevant Australian Standards or Codes. Selection of materials and processes of sign manufacture are to be to Environmentally Sustainable Design principles and recycled products are to be used where they comply with applicable standards.

Campus Breakdown by Sign System
Preferred Signage Systems The University has three main campuses: the City campus, Kuring-gai campus and St Leonards campus. In addition there are a number of noncampus specific locations. The included table (following pages) details each campus or miscellaneous facility and the interior wayfinding (directional) signage system and door plate signage system to be used. However, for a number of lacations, signs need to be designed to suit existing signage hardware which does not match either the Modulex or Spandex solutions. For these buildings the wayfinding and door sign options have been labelled As per existing. External signs are designed where feasible to suit a standard system such as Modulex Pacific Exterior, and where this is not possible, allowance for custom solutions are provided. The preferred signage solution is always to use a proprietary system whenever possible to ensure the quality, consistency and maintenance of the signage environment.
The list below outlines the Interior 10.20 and Slatz panel sizes: MODULEX Interior 1020 standard profile sizes: 15mm 25mm 45mm 65mm 85mm 125mm 165mm Then variable up to 1100mm Standard finishes: Satin natural anodised or graffiti proof baked enamel paint with 50% gloss. Obsolescence Guarantee on Modulex components is 7 years from deletion of product. SPANDEX Slatz system standard profile sizes: Not available 20.5mm 41.0mm 61.5mm 82.0mm 123.0mm 164.0mm No larger sizes Standard finishes: Satin natural anodised or mill finish.

Drawings
This section gives examples of sign construction for the main sign types. Similar principles should be applied to sign types not shown in detail or not using a pre-specified system. The drawings included are not fully detailed and certain elements such as thickness or sections of structural elements, footing designs, paint specifications and fixing details will need to be determined for each project by the selected sign manufacturer. Manufacturers should be required to submit shop drawings, engineering details, materials and finishes, specifications or samples and may be asked to provide prototypes prior to approval of construction. The drawings should be read in conjunction with the details of the specific sign type to which they refer.

Internal Product Specifications
Internal signs are defined in this section, with details pertinent to the particular sign type being detailed within the Sign Type section. Both this section and the Sign Type section MUST be read and understood to ensure the correct product is supplied. Graphics are described within the Sign Type to the extent of type style and letter heights, whilst materials for internal signs are defined in this section and are common across all internal signs. Installation details are also defined in this section for all internal signs. Internal signs will comprise of one of 3 types of construction method generally: a proprietary changeable slat system from either the Spandex or Modulex product ranges fixed panels where text is not changeable cut out letters for location identification where nomenclature will not change Refer this Section for details of which system to use for each campus. Graffiti proof baked enamel finishes have been specified wherever possible to ensure the ease of maintenance and consistency of appearance of the UTS signage investment. Use of differing quality paints is discouraged due to chipping, colour consistency and gloss factor issues.
Vinyl graphics are generally removable from signage substrates for the first 1-2 years, after which colour degradation of the substrate and hardening of the graphics makes it more practical to replace panels rather than service the graphics. Unless otherwise stated, logo to be to UTS corporate identity with emblem background in Teal Blue (PMS321) and acronym and lines in satin black. Typeface Gill Sans Regular caps and lower case with arrows and pictograms according to Section C, Graphics Standards. Unless otherwise stated lettering and graphics on slats to be in 3M Scotchcal 7725/220 Series opaque permanent film matt white colour 7725-20 or matt black colour 7725-22 seven year vinyl or equivalent approved quality. Map graphics to be screen printed, masked and sprayed or digital scotch print using black line work with colour infill areas. Map panels must be in one piece. Where maps are specified the orientation of the map must be correct from the users viewpoint.The top of the map should be straight ahead, the right hand side should be consistent with turning right and so on. Map panels within a building should be kept at a consistent size determined by the map graphics and orientation. If the map is associated with directory/ wayfinding information, additional blank slats may be added to the directory to make it the same size as the map. Conversely, a panel or slats may be added to the map panel to make it the same height as its associated directory.
Graphics
Internal graphics are specified around the use of cast quality 7 year vinyl and screen printed maps, as the expectation is that internal signs will not have the same exposure to vandalism as external signs. UTS logo and emblem are specified as screen printed for internal signs. Screen printing must provide appropriate adhesion to the baked enamel substrate and should be tested prior to production.
Dimensions
Sign sizes and layout disciplines to be as shown on drawings accompanying each sign type.

MODULEX Interior 10.20 MODULEX Interior 10.20 is the preferred signage system for interior use, see this Section for full details regarding which signage system to use. Interior 10.20 is a fully lockable sign system to prevent easy removal of panels. Locking components must be specified when ordering Interior 10.20 components. For wall signs two rails are screwed to the wall. End clips are slotted into each panel (note, with Interior 10.20 the end clips slide into place). Each panel then slides onto the wall rail. When all wall rails have been fitted the top locking component is screwed into place to prevent removal of panels. Door signs consist of slats with end clips only affixed to door or wall with double sided VHB tape. Suspended signs are constructed by slotting panels into double sided end clips (one panel front and back). Suspension cable is then threaded through the clips on one side of the bank of slats, across the bottom of the lowest slat and up through the opposite side of the bank of slats. Each end of this wire loop is attached to the ceiling. Installation details can be provided by the supplier as required. Note: centre assembly clips are to be added for suspended signs 750mm in width or greater to prevent bowing.

Spandex Slatz Spandex Slatz is one of the existing internal signage systems used within UTS campuses. Signage panels are easily clipped on and off clips/end clips to create maintainable suspended or wall signs. The system provides no security features to lock panels in place. For wall signs two sidetracks are cut to length and screwed to the wall. Plastic Slatz clips slide into the extruded aluminium wall sidetrack. Plastic sidetrack caps are inserted at the top and bottom of the sidetrack to close it off. The faceplates are then pushed onto the clips. Door signs consist of slats with end clips only (no sidetrack) affixed to door or wall with double sided VHB tape. Suspended signs are built by cutting two double sided sidetracks to length. Spandex clips slide into both sides of the extruded aluminium sidetrack and are fixed with nuts and bolts to prevent slipping. Plastic sidetrack caps are inserted at the top and bottom of the sidetrack to close it off. A bracing panel is attached between both sidetracks to prevent the sidetrack separating. The faceplates are then pushed onto the clips on both sides of the sign. Two small holes are drilled near the top of the bracing panel to attach suspension cables to the sign.

Map graphics to be screen printed, computer cut vinyl or digital print overlaminated with clear protective film and cut to perimeter shape of map. Map graphics to have black line work with colour infill areas. Map panels must be in one piece. 3. Map graphics to include references to entrances and exits, major destinations, lifts and escalators, facilities and amenities. You are here graphic to be included in map. Pictograms are to be used where possible and a legend included. Maps for each campus are to be specially designed. 4. Where appropriate, a colour coded level reference map may also be included. 5. To allow for easy updating, map panels may have blank slats (or aluminium panels) added if the associated directory or wayfinding information expands. This prevents map panels needing to be reprinted when directory sizes increase due to changes to installed signage. The panels(s) should be the same background colour and finish as the map panel. Note: The information on these pages refers only to internal map signs. For information regarding panels and general interior signage construction, please refer to Section H, Construction: Internal Signs.

I. SIGN PROCUREMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Procurement Policy These sign standards form an integral and important part of the Universitys management of the planning, procuring and maintenance of signs. Managing signage involves both planning and operational issues. The former is concerned with design and planning of signs across a site on a project by project basis in new or refurbished buildings. Once installed the operational day to day issues of maintenance and replacement need to be dealt with. These sign standards can assist in this process however Facilities Management Unit staff in conjunction with consultants should be involved in all major works. Minor additions or changes to signs should not be made by individual units without reference to the FMU who are able to consider any changes requested in the context of the larger signage planning issues. A sign register should be implemented to guide planning and as a maintenance record. This register should record the type, location, message and date of installation of all signs and inspection and maintenance details. Procurement of signs should be handled centrally by the FMU on behalf of the university business units so that ad hoc additions are avoided. One off new signs, changes or repairs should be dealt with under period contract with a sign manufacturer and purchases consolidated into larger orders on a regular basis. Signs are not only an important element in the efficient functioning of the university but are assets and as such deserve to be accorded due attention in their care and planning.
Maintenance Policy A maintenance policy and a program of regular maintenance should be established for all signs at UTS. An in-house computer register of signs and inspection and maintenance records should be established and maintained. Signs should be inspected periodically and conditions compared with the previous entry in the register. Signs are to be checked for: condition of sign panels and slat systems condition of footings condition of materials and welds condition and security of hardware evidence of vandalism evidence of damage appropriateness of message assessment and probability of suitable repairs
Signs on which the condition has deteriorated should be listed for repair or replacement. A maintenance manual containing technical specifications of signs and setting out recommendations on the care and maintenance should be prepared.

Sign Maintenance
General Maintenance
Like all finished surfaces, periodic general maintenance is required to prevent build up of any associated localised pollution to ensure optimum graphics quality and colour definition. At least annual cleaning is required, however if the product is situated in a high density or built up area the cleaning should be reviewed half yearly or at the discretion of the maintenance crew. General Maintenance - Cleaning Method Step 1: Wash down with warm soapy water and soft open weaved cloth. Step 2: Rinse with clean water. Step 3: Wipe surface in a circular fashion with a soft open weaved cloth in a solution of four (4) parts methylated spirits to one (1) part water. Step 4: Thoroughly dry surface with dry soft open weaved cloth.
Graffiti Removal - Process Step 1: Identify type of graffiti ie. Spray - can, crayon, marker, etc. Step 2: Remove unwanted applications with methylated spirits and water solution outlined in Step 3, General Maintenance. Step 3: If further removal is necessary, the next preferred remover is MODULEX Graffiti Remover solution available from the MODULEX distributor. Step 4: Dry thoroughly. Step 5: Repeat Steps 1 - 4 in General Maintenance - Cleaning Method. Step 6: Re-polish external map areas with Brasso metal polish, especially affected areas.
Further Assistance
Your local graffiti removal maintenance service can advise which solvent will best remove each particular unwanted application.
Graffiti Removal
In cases where the sign surface has been disfigured by spray - can or other unwanted applications, these can be removed with no effect to the ASG Endurasign graphics (used on external maps) or the Graffiti resistant baked enamel on MODULEX products. A special graffiti removal solution is available from the MODULEX distributor. Vinyl graphics are also resistant to spray - can vandalism and can normally be cleaned. Conventionally painted surfaces may be permanently damaged, depending upon the paint system used. Any further enquiries can be directed to: Signcorp Australasia Pty Ltd Tel: 1300 655 507
