Take a moment to envision that a high-profile client wants you to come to his office for a meeting. His office is in a big building with multiple units. You took note of where the meeting was going to be in your planner. The client is on the third floor, but once you get to the complex, you can’t locate the stairs or elevator. After some searching, you find the elevator. Yet, once you get to the third floor, there is no telling which suite belongs to the client. You just have a long hallway of unmarked doors before you. How will you ever make it to the meeting on time?
This would not be a problem if this venue had sufficient directory signage. Visitors look for your directories the moment they enter your facility. They are the natural place for people to stop and search for the unit they want. Thankfully, The Sign Center is one of the top providers of building directory signs for New Providence, NJ.
Directories Make It Simple to Find Your Way
Directory signs are still important even with the widespread use of GPS apps and devices. They make it fast and easy to identify every department, tenant, and amenity in your building. In addition, there are virtually no maintenance problems to worry about with these markers.
Now, going back to our original nightmare scenario, the building should have had a main lobby directory that lists the different offices in alphabetical order along with their suite number. Guests would be able to figure out where to go with another directory near the elevator. You could then refer to a subdirectory with directional arrows as you exit the elevator to see where your client is. When these signs are used together, they seamlessly guide visitors to their destination.
Where Are Building Directories Used?
We often supply directory signs for the following building types:
- Government Complexes – Outdoor directories will help the general public find the office they need when your town has all of its services on one campus.
- Shopping Centers – When shopping centers or strip malls with several tenants install directory signs, shoppers will be able to find the shop they are looking for more easily.
- Churches – These days, churches are getting bigger and bigger. If you have multiple buildings, you need to show guests where to go.
- Parks – Easily updatable directories will point the way to reserved spots when you manage a park that hosts numerous gatherings at once.
- Schools – When visitors come to your campus for sporting events, can they find the basketball court, wrestling room, baseball field, or football field? You can avoid confusion with directory signs.
