Exterior Signs

Visible building identification and accessibility signs are critical for welcoming and directing campus visitors. Signs will be designed and fabricated to meet universal access specifications for legibility related to the scale and purpose of the sign. Our signs are built to stand up to all types of weather and always reflect the University of Minnesota colors, branding standards, and logos.

Examples
Building Identification
Banners
Event Signs

All non-standard outdoor and exterior facing signage must be approved by the Signage Committee. Email [email protected] to request a proposal form. Be prepared to submit with a rendering of the design, size specifications and map and photo of the proposed location.
