[LIBRARYDIR] Study Room usage signage and ADA accessibility

[Heath Hayden]

All:

I have an email in to our DRC contacts on campus, but wanted to query here as well.

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.

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.

Thank you in advance.
