Doctor’s offices and medical clinics are almost always located in giant complexes. The problem is finding the provider you need in the multi-level labyrinth of hallways. You may know what floor your appointment is on, but without adequate signage upon entering the facility, you may not be able to locate the elevator or stairs. Once you get to the right floor, it may take even longer to find the right unit if the corridor lacks directional arrows. Meanwhile, time ticks by, and you are late for your appointment.

Most medical venues do a pretty good job of having sufficient signage, but the above example does illustrate the importance of building directory signs for Scarsdale NY. Fortunately, Gotham Signs & Graphics is here to take your visitors where GPS devices and apps cannot go.

Wayfinding Is Easy with Directory Signs

Even with the popularity of GPS, directories are still indispensable. They make it simple and fast to find every business, amenity, and department in your venue. Additionally, these signs have virtually no maintenance issues.

Going back to our example of the medical complex that lacked sufficient signage, any sizable facility should have a main lobby directory that lists different suites in alphabetical order with their room number printed next to them. Another directory near the elevator will help visitors figure out where to go. As guests exit the elevators on each floor, subdirectories with directional arrows could then point the way. Visitors are seamlessly guided to their destination when these markers are used in unison.

What Facilities Need Building Directory Signs?

Managers of the following types of facilities often come to us for directories:

• Parks – When you manage a park that hosts a variety of gatherings simultaneously, you can point the way to reserved spots with easily updatable directory signs.
• Government Buildings – If our town, village, or city keeps all of its services and departments in one building, outdoor directory signs will help the general public find the office they need.
• Schools – If guests cannot find the baseball field, basketball court, football stadium, auditorium, or any other commonly visited areas of your campus, it might be time to consider adding directories.
• Churches – Churches just keep growing in size these days. You need to show visitors where to go when you have multiple structures.
• Shopping Centers – Consumers will be able to find the store they are looking for more easily when strip malls and shopping centers with multiple tenants install directories.
