Campus Signage Audit — Sample Report
Campus Signage Audit — Sample Report
Prepared by R.E.S.S. — Real Estate Signs & Services · illustrative example for a composite “Sample Academy” campus
Why this matters to your school
Accessible parking, pool safety, occupant loads, fire lanes, and exits carry direct legal weight. Correct signage is part of the school’s duty of care.
First-responder door and room numbering, evacuation maps, AED and assembly-point signs, and everyday hazard markings keep people safe when it counts.
Faded or damaged signs give a “deferred maintenance” impression to every touring family. Well-kept signage protects the campus’s reputation.
One crest, one palette, one voice across entries, wayfinding, athletics, and donor recognition so the campus tells one consistent story.
