<p class="MsoNormal">Is 77pt for accessibility Bellevue’s internal policy? I don’t know of that being the case at LWTech, and I know that there are plenty of signs that have smaller font than 77pt (may not be in compliance).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are updating our signage in the study rooms in the library due to noise complaints and space considerations that are continually a problem. I found out yesterday that the font on the signs has to be a minimum of 77pt, which would turn
a simple printout of a sign into a larger poster. I am attaching the ADA checklist and the proposed change of the study room signage to this message.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone taken this into consideration in their institutions? If you have, what guidelines did you follow. 77pt font for a sign in a study room seems excessive to me, but I’d like to hear from others.<o:p></o:p></p>
