ADA-Compliant Signs Built for the Modern Office
Commercial offices are among the most heavily signed building types under the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Permanent room identification signs, including those for private offices, conference rooms, reception areas, and support spaces, must carry raised tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, and a non-glare high-contrast finish. Getting any one of those elements wrong can mean a failed inspection or an accessibility complaint, so accuracy in fabrication matters from the start.
HMWitt and Company fabricates ADA office signs from durable acrylic and photopolymer materials, producing raised text and Braille in one finished piece built to last. Whether you are outfitting a single tenant suite, managing a multi-floor corporate campus, or coordinating signage for a building renovation, we work with property managers, facilities teams, contractors, and architects to deliver sign packages that meet code and match your brand.
The products on this page cover the core signage needs of a commercial office environment, from individual room and door identification to open-floor wayfinding, cubicle name tags, and lobby directories. Every sign ships ready to mount at the required height beside the latch side of the door, between 48 and 60 inches from the finished floor, so your team can install with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which office signs actually require ADA compliance under federal law?
Any sign that permanently identifies a room or space, such as a private office, conference room, IT room, or electrical room, must comply with the 2010 ADA Standards. That means raised tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, a non-glare finish, and high contrast between the text and background. Directional and informational signs have different rules, but permanent room ID signs are the most strictly regulated category in an office environment.
Can my office signs be custom branded and still meet ADA code?
Yes. ADA compliance governs the tactile and Braille elements, character proportions, finish, and contrast, not the overall color palette or brand identity. HMWitt and Company regularly designs custom ADA office signs that incorporate a company's colors, logo placement, and typeface while meeting every required specification.
Where exactly do ADA room identification signs need to be installed in an office?
The 2010 ADA Standards require permanent room identification signs to be mounted on the wall beside the latch side of the door, with the centerline of the sign between 48 and 60 inches from the finished floor. If there is no room on the latch side, the sign goes on the nearest adjacent wall. Correct placement is just as important as the sign itself for passing inspection.
Do cubicle name tags and workstation number signs need to meet ADA standards?
Workstation identification signs in open-plan offices are not permanent room identification signs under the ADA, so they are not subject to the same mandatory requirements. That said, many organizations choose ADA-format cubicle signs with raised tactile characters and Grade 2 Braille to support navigation for employees and visitors with visual impairments. HMWitt and Company offers both ADA-format cubicle name tags and number signs, as well as reusable slide-in frames that make workstation reassignments easy.
