ADA-Compliant Signage That Guides Every Visitor and Employee
A well-signed office does more than help people find a conference room. It communicates professionalism, supports accessibility for everyone in the building, and keeps your facility in compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Permanent room identification signs, directional signs, and cubicle identifiers are all subject to specific federal requirements: raised tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, non-glare finishes, high contrast between text and background, and mounting at prescribed heights beside the latch side of each door. Getting those details right the first time means passing inspection and avoiding costly remediation later.
HMWitt and Company fabricates office wayfinding ADA signs rather than simply printing them. Our signs are built using photopolymer processes and UV flatbed printing combined with raster Braille and raised character appliqués, on durable acrylic and layered plastic substrates. That fabrication approach produces signage that meets code, holds up to daily use, and integrates cleanly with your office environment. Whether you need a single lobby directory or a complete sign package for a multi-floor corporate campus, we can design and produce every piece to match your brand and satisfy the inspector.
Our customers include property managers, general contractors, facility managers, and architects who specify signage as part of office build-outs and renovations. Because compliance expertise is itself part of what we deliver, you get more than a sign: you get confidence that each piece is code-correct before it goes on the wall. If your team is working through a tenant improvement, a multi-location rollout, or a first-time office fit-out, HMWitt and Company is equipped to handle the full scope.

What Office Wayfinding ADA Signs Cover
Office wayfinding ADA signage spans room identification signs for conference rooms, offices, IT rooms, and electrical rooms; lobby and floor directories; open-floor-plan navigation signs for cubicle zones and workstation rows; cubicle name tag and number signs for individual workstations; and directional signs that guide visitors from an entrance to a specific suite or floor. Each category carries its own ADA requirements, and a complete office sign package typically combines several of these types into a coordinated, code-compliant system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which office signs are required to meet ADA standards?
Any sign that permanently identifies a room or space accessible to the public or employees, including conference rooms, private offices, restrooms, IT rooms, electrical rooms, and stairwells, must comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. 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 separate, less stringent requirements, but a consistent fabricated system covers both.
Can you match our office branding while still meeting ADA code?
Yes. ADA standards regulate character height, proportion, Braille placement, finish, and contrast, but they leave room for custom colors, materials, and overall design. We regularly produce signs that incorporate a company's color palette, logo placement, and preferred typeface while remaining fully compliant. During consultation we walk through the design options that work within code.
What is the correct mounting height and location for office room signs?
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 wall space on the latch side, the sign mounts on the nearest adjacent wall. Getting placement right matters because incorrect mounting can trigger a failed inspection even when the sign itself is otherwise code-correct.
Do cubicle name tag and number signs need to meet ADA requirements?
Cubicle signs that permanently identify a workstation or zone are subject to ADA tactile signage requirements when they serve a wayfinding function in a space accessible to employees or visitors. Our ADA Cubicle Name Tag and ADA Cubicle Number signs are fabricated with raised tactile characters and Grade 2 Braille sized for panel mounting, so they satisfy those requirements and support consistent navigation across an open office floor plan.
