UCL Estates Estates Development

Introduction University College London (UCL) has developed a standard sign style for all wayfinding across the university estate.

An effective wayfinding and signage strategy for UCL can only be achieved if a consistent approach for signs is taken across all buildings, in terms of both appearance and content. The sign design has been agreed with the Local Authority and Historic England to be suitable for all building types whether new or historic or listed.

This has gradually been implemented since 2010 as buildings are being refurbished and new buildings built.

This standard must now be complied with for all areas except the residential estate.

This manual sets out the brand application and rules, and then sets out the sign types, usage rules and templates, along with contacts and detailed specifications.

Logo

UCL introduced a corporate identity to give all communications a consistent, strong and modern look.

The corporate identity has been incorporated into the sign design and must not be changed or adapted in any way.

In all cases the UCL branding strip at the base of the sign is to appear in Pantone Cool Grey 3, with the exception of UCL Library Services, where it appears in Pantone Blue 632.

The building pictogram element of the UCL logo always appears in white.

Pantone Cool Grey 3

The sizes of the branding elements are scaled according to the size of the sign and are set out in the artwork templates. The size of the branding elements must not be changed or adapted in any way.

Colours

The signs need to be readable, but should also complement the interior of the building. The materials, colour and finish for the UCL signage has been chosen to fit a number of differing building styles from historic to modern interiors.

The BS8300:2 requirement is for a minimum LRV difference to be 70 between the sign background and the text legends. Black and white provides the greatest contrast but can sometimes be a problem due to the extreme contrast, so white lettering on a darker background with a matt finish provides a good legibility.

The UCL standard colour as the suede dove blue background was chosen as it provides a good contrast with the wall colour on which it is to be fixed as most UCL buildings interiors are painted an off white colour.

Brand Typeface

The typeface chosen for the signage matches the UCL corporate typeface which is Arial MT. This is a sans-serif typeface and is recommended as good practice as it is more legible than serif faces. Two weights of typeface are offered - medium for the primary information and light for the secondary information, upper case is only used for the first letter and lower case is used elsewhere (see diagram).

In order to the make the signs legible a range of type sizes have been chosen to deliver the information required. The choice of type size is also balanced with the spacing between letters, words and lines to ensure the text is legible. Keeping plenty of free space around the legends aids legibility. There are a number of very long department names and legends at UCL and in order to avoid unduly large signs the text cap height sizes have been chosen to meet these needs.

The type sizes are shown on the templates for each sign. The type sizes set out in the templates have been designed in order to comply with BS8300. These type sizes must not be changed, in order to ensure consistency across signage. If the name does not fit, do not use two lines or reduce type size, instead the name should be abbreviated/shortened to suit.

2.0 2.1

Process Standard Signage

Process for Wayfinding Signage The type of project to be undetaken may vary in size from just ordering a few replacement slats, updating an existing scheme through to a whole new scheme for a building. It is envisaged there will be three types of Projects:

specific sign types and “how to order” can be found on the UCL signage and wayfinding internet page.

Type A: Updates to an existing scheme including Department name changes

If there are any associated works e.g. making good after a sign is replaced, a project request should be raised by the department which will go to Estates. https//www.ucl.ac.uk/estates/project-and-requests

If a signage system is already in place and all that is needed is to procure some new slats or a few simple additional signs. The ideal is to eventually have all signage to be accessible, but in the interim there will be situations where there is both types as new signage is introduced into an existing building.

This would be procured as a direct order between the Department and the Supplier - the supplier will manufacture and install the signs. All approved Suppliers are aware of UCL’s signage standards and should be able to produce the correct design. Details of UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/estates/estates-services/signageand-wayfinding

Funding for Type A should be by the Department. If you have any questions speak to your Area Facilities Manager in the first instance: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/estates/our-services/areafacilities-management

Page 13

UCL Estates Estates Development

2.0 2.1

Process Standard Signage

Process for Wayfinding Signage Type B: Simple directional information and room naming

Type C: Larger schemes requiring wayfinding and route analysis.

If a signage scheme is required for a simple building that would not require any major wayfinding analysis.

Suitable signs required would be for basic directional information and signs for naming rooms and facilities.

If a new scheme is required in a more complex building where an analysis of key routes and destinations is needed to establish a hierarchy of information. Sign types would be selected from the standard sign family, however non-standard signs may be required for unusual or difficult locations. Floor plan maps may be required as an aid to orientation. Determine the complexity of the project and either include the works in the architects package or engage a wayfinding consultant.

If the building is part of a Capital Project the Project Manager should include the signage scheme as part of the architect’s package or procure the signs directly with the Supplier. If a Department is making the changes directly they should put in a project request and will be assigned a Project Manager from Estates who may engage an architect or wayfinding consultant or work directly with a Supplier.

Funding for Type B will be dependent on who is driving the request.

The Project Manager should engage a Wayfinding Consultant to prepare the scheme and the artwork prior to ordering from the Suppliers. This will ensure standardisation across the estate.

Funding for Type C is primarily through a project budget.

Process Non-Standard Signage

Wafinding should always follow the UCL standards in order to keep a consistent feel across the Estate.

If a user has a request for non standard signage e.g. branding for a department they should follow this process.

There are a number of exclusions that don’t follow the UCL standards for signage including: • • • •

Accommodation Student Union School of Management Bartlett School of Architecture

These exceptions do however still need to meet the BS8300 guidelines.

3.0 3.1

General Rules Naming

The choice of content for signs may seem obvious but different people have their own interpretation of what signs should say. In order to avoid oversigning, a process of editing the proposed list of destinations is required at the outset. All locations do not need to be signed from everywhere. However accessible routes need always to be clearly shown.

The hierarchy of sign destinations needs to be considered and as a rule, sign the general first and the specific later, i.e. signing a reverse address approach Kent Beckenham

instead of

The Avenue 11,

11 The Avenue Beckenham Kent

So within a building that would mean signing to a department, then to a floor, then a room.

Important spaces / junctions / floors, may be better to sign to, rather than all the locations UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

near those spaces. So it is important to identify the key routes and orientation spaces within a building, for example in buildings where there are wings, these should be named, primary halls / corridors which act as main orientation points should also be named. In this way signs can be kept to a minimum.

In addition, signage needs to identify the step free routes. The primary routes should follow the step free entrance wherever possible.

Think about the primary destinations that visitors need to find. Bear in mind that once a destination is signed say from an entrance this will need to be signed every time to ensure that the route does not ‘go cold’.

The biggest cause of frustration to users is to find that they are following signs to a destination and then at a junction the signs for that destination disappear. So only sign

what is really necessary from each point. Also coming into a building and finding a massive directory of destinations is also quite off putting, and so a simpler set of destinations to areas / zones may be better with more detailed information developing as specific destinations are approached.

When identifying departments it is best to sign to the departmental office as this is the department’s front door. If the department covers a number of floors it is not necessary to sign the department on each floor, but just the key spaces like lecture theatres, meeting rooms etc, and then identify the group of offices e.g. offices 1.01-1.10.

If signing is included as part of a capital project the Estates Project Manager is responsible for organising the signage.

3.0 3.2

General Rules Floor Levels

Floor numbers need to be signed at points of changing between level such as at stairs and lifts, but also the floor number should be shown on the directory panels.

The default identification should be: G is for the Ground Floor 1, 2, 3 etc for upper floors -1, -2 etc for below ground levels The floor number / letter is shown in the top right hand corner of the sign.

In some cases however where the existing building has basements and these are named B on the room numbers it may make more sense to call the floors B for below ground, however there are also some instances where the below ground is also referred to as lower ground. The ideal is to renumber floors to the default system. But a sensible approach needs to be taken to ensure room numbers and floor numbers match, and that where buildings join each other that the UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

GM

2 1 G

floor numbers are consistently applied as one travels between buildings.

In some instances there are also intermediate floors introduced and these should be named mezzanine, and if there are several intermediate floors throughout a building then name the mezzanine so it relates to the floor it is just above, e.g. a mezzanine between ground and first floor would be Ground Mezzanine. (See Fig.1) If there are any changes proposed to the floor level references, this must be first be discussed with the Estates CAD Manager to ensure that this is consistent with the Estates formal records and audit management systems.

General Rules Arrows

A uniform arrow type is used on all signs. The size of the directional arrows is set in the artwork, however the correct arrow and legend configuration must be used on all signs.

Do not use down or right angled arrows, if you feel these are required then the sign is in the wrong place and should be reconsidered or the content should be split between two signs.

UCL Estates Estates Development

3.0 3.3

General Rules Arrows

The arrow is one of the most useful symbols used in signage, and when used correctly aids legibility and understanding. Text legends should be aligned according to the direction of the arrow.

On legends pointing right the legend is ranged right and the arrow appears on the right hand side of the legend.

On arrows pointing left the legend is ranged left and the arrow appears on the left of the legend.

For arrows pointing up, this is dependent on the location of the sign. Generally this would sit on the left hand side of the sign, with text also left arranged. But if a user is being directed up a corridor to the right hand side of the sign, then it would be clearer in this instance to range the arrow and legend right.

General Rules Alignment

In locations where the sign is placed adjacent to a corner the content should be ranged towards the corner to aid legibility.

General Rules Third Party Logos

Working with partners UCL works with many types of partner in a host of different ways.

It is in the interests of all parties to be represented properly, and for the relationship to be clear in the minds of your audiences.

When UCL works with partners, the way they use combined branding depends on the weight of balance in the relationship. See UCL communications visual identity poster for guidance.

Sign Types Reception Areas

Within reception areas, and building entrance foyers a standard sign look is required. This can be as formed from individual letters, or as a tray with printed graphics and can either be wall mounted or applied to a desk face.

The material choices for the reception signs can be bespoke to suit the architectural style and materiality of the building, but needs to use the UCL typeface and brand.

The sign needs to highlight the address / building name, and ‘Welcome to UCL.’ Departments are highlighted 22 Gordon 22 Gordon Street Street on the directory signs, so it is not a requirement to Welcome to UCL to UCL have them in the reception area sign particularly if the Welcome 22 Gordon Street building has more than one department /school.

The contrast level between the background and sign colour needs to be clear, the background needs to avoid visual noise between slats when using slatted cladding.

In all instance these signs and the background colour needs to have a minimum LRV difference of 70.

Sign Types Vinyls and Wall Graphics

In corridors and on large wall spaces within offices and departments the area can be animated with wall graphics. UCL uses a 30mm x 30mm grid template for vinyl graphics to allow for a range of suitable scenarios.

Images need to be good quality and show a creative layout. However it is important to ensure the wall graphics (especially where they are on stair cases / lift lobbies) do not add to the difficulties of using or navigating the estate.

For more details, please contact CAM at: brand. comms@ucl.ac.uk Vinyl wall graphics must take in to consideration any existing standard UCL signs, statutory signs or appliances such as radiators, fire hydrants etc.

UCL currently use David Lovelock for the vinyl graphic designs - david@davidlovelock.com

When setting out the hoardings design, there are a number of things to take in to consideration.

projects. Contact Estates Comms for details. estates.communications@ucl.ac.uk

Wayfinding Will the hoarding be blocking any existing key signage or maps? If yes, wayfinding might need to be adapted in to the design.

For more details, please contact the communications department: brand.comms@ucl.ac.uk UCL currently use Renwick & Co for the hoarding “disruptive” design Jack@renwickstudio.com.

Information Is there anything visitors need to be made aware of; such as how long the hoarding will be up, are there alternative entrances or is there an alternative building?

Design Are there any render images that could be used in the design to let people know what is coming? Think of the building department, is there imagery that could be used to suit the space.

Sign Types Donor Plaques

Donor plaques at UCL need to follow the UCL brand.

Materials can be an engraved stainless steel plaque or stainless steel tray with engraved and backfilled lettering. The backfilling needs to ensure enough contrast levels and stainless steel plaques need to be matt finish.

The use of the UCL logo will depend on whether it is a UCL only plaque or if there are other institutions or partners that also need to be recognised with logos on the plaque.

Sign Types Manifestations

The colour of the manifestations should contrast visually with the background seen through the glass (both from inside and outside) in all lighting conditions.

People with visual impairment should be in no doubt as to the location of the glass entrance doors, especially when they are within a glazed screen. The choice of a different style of manifestations for the door and the glazed screen can help to differentiate between them.

Manifestations need to be applied to ensure they are between the heights shown on the drawing to meet building regulations. They can be in two lines or cover the whole area between these heights. Similar to colour contrast in other signs as set out on page 8 the LRV contrast needs to be a minimum of 70%.

Accessibility

Types of Disability Making signage inclusive needs to consider a wide range of disabilities, from mobility issues, which requires that accessible routes are clearly shown, literacy issues such as non-English speaking and people with learning difficulties where clear use of internationally recognised pictograms aids understanding, and more specifically people with a visual impairment, where many issues such as sign size, location and contrast are key factors.

However like other disabilities visual impairment covers a wide range of sight loss conditions.

There are four main categories of visual impairment: • • •

•

Central field loss where the sight loss affects the area of vision straight in front of them.

Peripheral field loss where people can see the central area but lose the vision around the periphery.

Combined central and peripheral field loss, where a portion of both these conditions may be experienced, and finally.

Reduced contrast where the contrast perception is reduced and the visual scene becomes washed out.

The Sign Design Guide gives a good summary of the varieties of sight loss, and extracts are quoted here: “Different eye conditions create different problems.

Very few blind people see nothing at all. A minority can distinguish light but nothing else, some have no central vision; others have no side vision. Some see everything as a vague blur; others see a patchwork of blanks and defined areas.”

BS8300 Section 12 Extract Meeting BS8300 is the Mayor’s London Plan requirement for all developments. It is also something UCL will be applying to signage going forward.

UCL is committed in ensuring all signage is accessible for everyone. By following the BS8300 guidelines, this is something we can ensure. Please read the next few pages for further information.

12 Signs and information People need clear information about the purpose and layout of spaces if they are to maintain a clear sense of direction and independent use of a building. Often visual and tactile information is reinforced by audible information. As no single medium can communicate information to all those

UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

who need to receive it, some duplication is essential.

Information may take the form of visual information (e.g. signs, notice boards), audible information (e.g. public address and security systems, induction loops, telephones and infrared devices), or tactile information (e.g. signs with embossed lettering or Braille).

Visual and tactile forms of information are often used in combination, complemented by audible information.

a) the location, accessibility, layout and height of signs; b) the size and case of lettering, the size of symbols and reading distances; c) the use of tactile letters and symbols; d) visual contrast and lighting; e) the finished surfaces of materials used for signs and symbols; f) the simultaneous use of audible and visible cues; g) integration with any other communication systems.

Clear signs and information are essential for people who are deaf and hard of hearing who might be unable to ask, or feel uncomfortable about asking, for directions.

The effectiveness of information on the use of a building is determined by:

Accessibility

BS8300 Section 12 Extract 12.1 Provision of signs and information

12.1.1 General

Information to help orientation is most usefully provided at junctions of circulation routes.

A plan or model may supplement written or audible instructions or signs in a large, complex building. Taped spoken messages can also help people who are blind or partially sighted comprehend a complex building.

Signs should form part of an integrated communication scheme that gives clear directions, information and instructions for the use of a building. They should support a way‑finding strategy that takes into account the requirements of different types of building users as well as the complexity of the building layout.

For some people who are blind or partially sighted, tactile plans and models can also be helpful in understanding the interior layout of a public building.

Clear directions indicating the facilities on each floor of a building are essential on lift and stair landings to help ensure that people do not visit the wrong floor.

UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

NOTE Detailed design guidance on the provision and design of signs is available in the Sign design guide and the NHS Wayfinding Guide [35]. Guidance on signage and way‑finding for people who have sensory / neurological processing difficulties is given in Building Research Technical Report 6 / 2005.

Information and direction signs should be provided at each point where they are required, e.g. at junctions of circulation routes, at key locations such as doorways and reception points, at facilities such as telephones and toilets, lift lobbies, and in rooms, spaces and counters where induction loop systems are fitted.

The colour, design and typeface of signs should be consistent throughout a building.

12.1.2 Location information All key location information, such as sign directories, orientation signs, maps and plans, should be both visual and in tactile form where low enough to be touched. Where practicable, audible information should also be provided.

Accessibility

BS8300 Section 12 Extract Orientation (“you are here”) information should be provided in accessible places. It should be clearly signposted and located alongside the main accessible route within a building, or clearly visible from the entrance to a building, so that it can be examined without restricting the access route. The orientation of maps and plans should match that of the building.

NOTE As there is no standardized way of presenting plans and maps in tactile form, people who regularly use a building might obtain more benefit than occasional visitors as they will become familiar with the tactile techniques used.

a logical sequence from a starting point to a point of destination and providing a clear indication of return routes to named exits. The names of destinations should be consistent throughout the signing system.

A clear indication of the existence of steps or ramps on a route should be provided at both ends of the route.

12.1.4 Universally recognized signs and symbols Signs to facilities specifically for disabled people should incorporate the International Symbol for Access.

12.1.3 Directional signs Directional signs should readily identify and easily distinguish accessible routes, including escape routes, from each other, providing UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

Examples of such facilities include accessible entrances and accessible toilets.

Universally-recognized public information symbols (see Note 2) should be used to

replace text, wherever possible. Any other symbols should be used in conjunction with text.

NOTE 1 Symbols are an essential aid for people who have sensory / neurological processing difficulties. In appropriate situations, Makaton and supporting graphic symbols may be used as part of a communication strategy. It is advisable to obtain specialist advice.

NOTE 2 Further information on public information symbols can be found in BS 8501 and BS ISO 7010.

Safety signs, including fire safety and fire escape signs, should be in accordance with BS 5499‑4 and BS EN ISO 7010.

Accessibility

BS8300 Section 12 Extract A building should include spaces where announcements can be transmitted through an assistive listening system. Signs should be provided to inform people who are Deaf and hard of hearing of locations in the building where these systems are fitted, and where they can obtain the necessary equipment for assistive listening systems.

Universally-accepted colour coding should be used for the background or text of warning signs, as appropriate, i.e. blue for mandatory instructions, green for safety, yellow for hazard and red for danger/emergency.

12.1.5 Information signs and boards A wall‑mounted information board should be provided at lift landings, at floor level landings of staircases, and at other major decision points in main circulation routes.

UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

NOTE There might be occasions where notices need to be positioned at different heights to enable information to be read by sight or touch (see 12.2).

NOTE 1 In exceptional circumstances a lower headroom may be provided subject to a minimum of 2100 mm.

Directional signs should indicate the route to a destination, paying particular attention to potential points of uncertainty.

NOTE 2 It can be helpful to duplicate detailed signs or instructions, especially safety notices, at high and low level, so that they can be read equally by a standing person or a wheelchair user. The inclusion of tactile information, where practicable, will assist people who are blind or partially sighted.

Directional signs should be placed only on fixed parts of the building such as walls, posts and floors. Where such signs would not be visible in large crowds, they should be suspended from the ceiling. The headroom of directional signs suspended from ceilings or posts, or projected from walls, should where practicable be not less than 2300 mm.

Signs to rooms should generally not be placed on doors but on the wall to the leading edge side of the door, as the sign might not be visible when the door is open. However, there are some situations where a sign needs to be placed on a door, e.g. signs to toilets, pull / push signs, and hazard warnings on plant room doors.

12.2 Location and design of signs and information

Accessibility

BS8300 Section 12 Extract Signs should be positioned to avoid reflections from daylight and artificial lighting.

Signs other than universally recognized signs should include Plain English text and pictograms together to assist people who have sensory / neurological processing difficulties.

12.3 Visual signs 12.3.1 Design and size of lettering and symbols Short sentences are easy to understand and remember. Abbreviations, words placed closely together, and very long words are all hard to read.

Visual signs should comprise simple words, clearly separated from one another, in short sentences. Sentences or single word messages should begin with an upper case UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

letter and continue with lower case letters.

Text entirely in upper case type (capitals) should not be used. Any sans serif typeface with a relatively large x‑height (lower case letter height) to capital height should be used.

NOTE 1 Typefaces that are commonly used include Helvetica, Arial, Futura and Avant Garde.

NOTE 2 Text in italics can be difficult to read for some people.

The dimensions of safety signs, including fire safety signs, and the size of any associated text, should be in accordance with BS EN ISO 7010.

The text height for non‑safety visual signs should be chosen to suit the application in accordance with Table 5.

Accessibility

BS8300 Section 12 Extract 12.3.2 Visual contrast For signs other than safety signs (for which there are prescribed colours), letters, symbols and pictograms should contrast visually with the signboard. Signboards should contrast visually with their backgrounds.

NOTE 1 A difference in LRV of 70 points between the letters, symbols or pictograms and the signboard, and between the signboard and the background, ensures good visual contrast.

NOTE 2 Light coloured text and symbols or pictograms on a dark background are preferred.

Where the LRV of a required signboard colour matches that of the background wall colour and neither can be changed, a visually UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

contrasting border should be placed around the sign, equal in width to at least half the x‑height of the text.

NOTE 1 Embossed letters are easier to read than indented or engraved letters, especially if their leading edges (left and upper) are sharp and as well‑defined as possible.

12.4 Tactile and Braille signs and symbols The use of well‑contrasted tactile text and symbols can cater for both sighted and blind / partially sighted users. People who are blind or partially sighted and who do not read Braille can still identify, or be aided by, tactile information.

Directional signs, and signs identifying functions or activities within a building, should incorporate embossed letters in a sans serif typeface with a depth of 1.25 mm ± 0.25 mm, a stroke of 1.75 mm ± 0.25 mm, and the edges slightly rounded but not half round in section.

Graphical symbols on directional and door signs should have a raised contour of the same depth as tactile lettering. Accessible graphical symbols should be used to denote particular components of a facility, for example, sanitary or Changing Places toilets, provision of an assistive listening system, wheelchair viewing spaces and accessible seating.

NOTE 2 Further information on graphical symbols can be found in BS 8501.

BS8300 Section 12 Extract Where Braille is to be provided the following recommendations apply.

•

Grade 1 Braille should be used for single word or short multiple word signs (e.g. “Special Baby Care Unit”).

•

Grade 2 contracted Braille should be used to reduce the length of signs incorporating a paragraph of text (e.g. an interpretation sign in a museum).

BRITISH STANDARD BS 8300‑2:2018 NOTE: • All new signs should have raised lettering on a capital project.

• On a partial project if 50% of the signage requires changing then new style raised lettering is required throughout.

• No directory shall have mixed raised and flat lettering.

Where Braille forms part of a sign, a marker (e.g. a notch or tactile shape) should be located at the left‑hand edge of the sign to help locate the Braille message (see Figure 10).

NOTE 3 Further information on tactile and Braille signs, including their size and location, can be found in the Sign design guide.

Induction Loops Induction loops (sometimes referred to a hearing loop systems) should be installed in meeting rooms, lecture theatres, classrooms, seminar rooms as well as at reception desks (for a full list of locations where an induction loop should be installed please refer to BS8300).

Induction loops allow those who have a hearing aid or a cochlear implant to hear the audio signal directly into their hearing aid greatly reducing background noise and other sounds that affect acoustic clarity via a magnetic field. The induction loop consists of a continuous loop of wire that produces a magnetic field that allows sound to be heard by the user when they switch to the Tele-coil (T switch) on their hearing aid.

Induction loop installed. Please switch your hearing aid to T position.

When an induction loop is installed signage must be put up to inform users that there is one present. Please refer to page 78 on how to set up the sign.

Recycling & Sustainability

Sustainable Material Specification: Where available and in appropriate condition, signage should be reused as the preferred option. Any new signage should meet the minimum recycled content requirements set out in the Ska HE assessment tool where available.

New timber products should have a chain of custody (CoC) certificate to confirm responsible sourcing (i.e.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC)). Products which are Greenguard Certified or have a Cradle to Cradle Silver or higher certificate will also be deemed compliant.

UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

Products which are modular and can be updated without additional use of recourses or elements sent to landfill may be used for specific / appropriate applications (e.g. where information needs to be regularly changed).

For reference, the minimum RC guidelines are: • • • • • • • •

Aluminium extrusion – 44%; Aluminium sheet – 73% Steel section – 60% Steel sheet – 60% Stainless steel – 75% Copper sheet – 60% Glass – 10% Recycled composite materials – 80%

MSS Specification All new internal wayfinding signage for UCL buildings is now to be in accordance with this specification.

profiles can be hooked on. The signs are naturally double sided, without any special back plate.

The internal signs are MSS (Modular Sign System) and distributed under licence from a number of suppliers. See section 8.0 for the current list of suppliers. In this way the signs can be procured without UCL being tied in to one manufacturer.

The extrusions come in 3.3m lengths, painted to suit the UCL brand colours Nextel suede dove grey. This has a number of benefits, it allows the extrusions to slide together smoothly, it seals the aluminium and it provides a ‘key’ for paint application.

It is a flexible simple system as it has essentially two components; profiles and locking strip. The profiles are manufactured from aluminium extrusions, which have half-dovetails on one side.

The extruded profiles slide together to form a sign 6mm thick. The profiles are held in place by a hidden, locking strip.

The profiles are offset so that there is always a dovetail showing and additional UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

Each profile is painted to the specified colours and stoved for durability, and text legends are applied by direct to surface printing or applied tactile lettering where required.

locking strip

dovetailed aluminium extrusion

The HB Modular Sign System is made from dovetailed aluminium extrusions, which slide together to form the completed sign. There is no back plate which in turn means that the sign may be single or double sided. Because it is frameless, there is no limit to the size of the sign. It may therefore be extended or shortened by the addition or removal of profiles. At every stage the signs remain visually compete and securely fastened. Based upon a module pitch of 5mm The HB Modular Sign System is comprised of profiles from 5mm to 150mm. Various profiles in the range can be added to allow the sign to become suspended, projecting and desk mounted.

The HB Modular Sign System is easy to assemble and dismantle – once you know how. A discreet locking strip is concealed within the 6mm thickness and there are no evident fastenings or fixings that could be undone with conventional tools. The concealed locking strip simply slides out by being pushed by a pin through a small hole located in the bottom profile.

Sign Specification Internal Signs

Installation Rules Mounting All signs to be wall mounted, except where shown, and head heights to align except where shown. In a few exceptional circumstances signs will be ceiling hung or free standing.

The sign system slats need to be assembled to ensure the logo slat is aligned with the bottom of the sign. Any additional small strips required to stabilise the sign should be located at the top of the sign.

Survey Each location must be surveyed by the manufacturer to confirm all sign sizes shown in the documents prior to manufacture.

In addition where new slats are being ordered to fit an existing sign, the manufacturer should survey the existing sign slat and type size to ensure consistency.

UCL Signage Guide Manual 2021 Version 2

Spacer Signs are to be installed with aluminium backing plate on slatted signs and 10mm foamex spacer.

The spacer is to be at least 25mm smaller than the sign edge to ensure the appearance of a floating stand off from the background wall. It is preferred that spacers are painted the nextel dove blue finish, particularly in locations where the sign edge is very visible.

However a white colour is significantly more economical and often acceptable, a near RAL colour match to the nextel blue is a mid-price option.

Removals and making good When installing a new signage scheme in an existing building there will be old signs to remove. The contract for the installer should allow for removing all the redundant signs, and to make good the surfaces and

decorations, to ensure that there are not holes and patches of unpainted walls etc left after the new scheme is in place.

Changes to signs When a sign has been installed and changes are required to just a few slats, then blank slats should be inserted temporarily to ensure signs are not left with missing slats and the backing panel visible.

Building managers are advised to order a few blank slats for the various sign types, which can be used for this purpose from time to time in their building to ensure the signs always look good even when undergoing maintenance.

Building managers should check that any sign updates should have the locking key reinserted by the manufacturer when complete so that the sign slats are held firmly in place.
