Campus Signage Standard Upgrade
|
All departments and offices will need to upgrade the step stakes used to place corrugated plastic signs in the ground on campus in order to enhance the efficacy of the messages. The standard issue by most sign companies is 9 gauge (0.148” wire) and needs to be upgraded to a heavy-duty step stake of 1/4” (0.25”). All current and future signage should upgrade to the new standard.
