Frederick Community College Facilities Master Plan Chapter 6 Proposed Campus Development 6-F-4 May, 2023 Signage The College completed a comprehensive signage program in 2015, including building exterior and interior signage as well as campus signage. Since then, the College community has had time and opportunity to form opinions on how well the signage works, or not. During the interview period in the earlier months of this study, individuals in administrative and faculty positions did comment on the signage, and their comments have been shared with the consultant team. Statements included issues regarding signage sizes, readability, content, graphics, placement, and wayfinding, and there were calls for digital signage. Site Signage While the overall design quality of the signage is consistent and attractive, the placement, sizes, legibility, and content can be improved. The scale of the text is often too small and isn’t readable until the viewer is close to the sign. This is most true of the free-standing information and directional signs located near (but in some cases not near enough) pedestrian ways. For roadway signs, much of the text is universally too small to read while driving, even slowly. Except for the large Frederick Community College sign at the main Opossumtown Pike entrance, none of the exterior signs are illuminated, either internally or by flood or spotlights. Digital signs may be considered and if implemented, should be limited to locations near major, strategic building entrances, for example, where approaching the front door of the Student Center from Parking Lot 1.
