determined on a project-by-project basis.
10.05 Interior Graphics/Signage
The design shall include an identification and directional
system to communicate information essential to the operation
of the new facility. The interior/exterior graphic system is
to assist individuals moving to and within the facility.
Particular attention must be given to the needs of individuals
with disabilities to permit their access to the building from
parking areas and walkways and to move freely throughout the
building.
It is imperative that the interior graphic system meets
critical maintenance, replacement, and anti-vandalism
specifications with regard to location and method of
application, as well as design specifications for material,
color, texture, dimensions, and letter type (reference sign
detail. These requirements also apply to painted wall
graphics.
The development of the interior signage system and all
supplementary graphics specific to the project shall be
coordinated with the DAEC. The specific room numbering
assignments are to be conducted by DAEC at the completion of
the Schematic Design Phase. All rooms shall be numbered on
the drawings using the University room numbering standard.
The design is to be in accordance with the following
references:
A. Interior Room Numbering Standard
In order to properly identify rooms, assign space and
maintain a computerized space inventory and key control,
the following room numbering and identification system is
in use at the College Park Campus.
Figure 1 (JPG Format)
1. Each floor within a building is to be assigned a
group of 4-digit numbers. The first digit will
indicate the floor of the building, the second will
indicate the wing, and third and fourth will
indicate the room number in that wing.
2. The four digit number may have an alpha prefix
indicating a sub-basement (SB0123), basement
(B0123) or mezzanine (M1123), or an alpha suffix
indicating a part of one room or space (1123A).
3. Small rectangular buildings will be numbered using
4-digits, where the first digit will indicate the
floor, the last two digits shall indicate the room
number and the second digit shall be "one".
Figure 2 (JPG Format)
4. Each room entered from a public corridor will have
a separate room number. Rooms with more than one
door opening into the corridor will have the same
number plate. Where spaces are not entered from a
public corridor, but from another space, they will
be assigned the same room number with an alpha
suffix. Note: In the alpha suffix system, letters
"I" and "O" are not assigned. When the letter "Z"
is passed, continue with AA, BB, etc. Room number
suffixes will be assigned in a clockwise direction
with even numbered rooms on one side and odd
numbered rooms on the opposite side. (See FIGURE
2.)
5. The room numbering system must be flexible enough
to accommodate physical changes which may occur
during the life of the building. The most frequent
changes will be the subdivision of larger rooms
into smaller rooms. In cases where long rooms run
parallel with the corridor, a block of numbers will
be reserved so that if future subdivisions do
occur, numbers will be available for the spaces
without renumbering the entire wing.
6. The numbering system should reflect a general
location within the building. This can be done
most easily by "stacking" room numbers as much as
possible. For instance, room 1101 should be in the
same relative position in the building as room 2101
and 3101.
7. All public corridors, lobbies, elevators, lifts,
and stairways will be numbered starting from 99
and going down, i.e., 1199, 1198, 1197, 1196, etc.
(See FIGURE 3.)
Figure 1 (JPG Format)
FIGURE 3.
B. Identification System
1. All building support areas will be marked with a
sign identifying its room use. Building support
areas include: mechanical, electrical, elevator and
telephone equipment rooms, custodial closets, and
toilets.
a. For these support spaces all drawings are to
reflect the following abbreviations:
- Mechanical equipment rooms - ME
- Electrical rooms, transformer vaults - EE
- Elevator machinery - X
- Telephone equipment - TE
- Custodial closets - CU
- Men's Rooms - MT
- Women's Rooms - WT
- Bathroom - T
b. All signage for these spaces will be worded as
follows to provide uniformity:
- Mechanical equipment rooms - "MECHANICAL
EQUIPMENT"
- Electrical rooms, transformer vaults -
"ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT"
- Elevator machinery - "ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT"
- Telephone equipment - "TELEPHONE
EQUIPMENT"
- Custodial closets - "CUSTODIAL"
- Men's Rooms - "MEN"
- Women's Rooms - "WOMEN"
- Bathroom - "TOILET"
C. Assignment of Room Numbers to New Buildings
Design drawings shall incorporate room numbering in
accordance with the UM Room Numbering Standard identified
above. Before working drawings are completed, the doors
that are scheduled to have room # plates and/or room i.d.
signs shall be identified.
At the completion of construction, all "As Built" floor
plans (architectural, mechanical, electrical, and
structural) shall reflect the room numbers as installed
by the contractor.
D. Assignment of Room Numbers for Renovation Projects
Before any renovation begins, DAEC will mark room numbers
on two (2) set of plans in accordance with the Standard
Room Numbering and Room Identification System, indicating
what room numbers and room identification sign are
required. One set will be used to incorporate the
information on the working drawings, and the second set
will be distributed to Facilities Management O&M Building
Security.
At the completion of the renovation, "As Built" drawings,
verifying work done and installation of the required room
number plates and room identification signs shall be
prepared.
The cost for the fabrication and installation of room
number plates and room identification signs will be
included in the cost of renovation.
E. Interior Room Identification Sign Detail
NOTES:
1) All room numbers shall be 1" high, raised minimum 1/32" and
include Braille.
2) All permanent assigned rooms, such as toilet rooms, stairs,
floors designations and symbols of accessibility shall be
raised minimum 1/32" and in Braille as required by ADA. All
