4.9  Signage

Way finding and sign posting important for all Users.  The Contractor shall incorporate a clear and appropriate way finding.

For the avoidance of doubt all signage in accordance with the [paragraph ♦] of the Contractors Proposals.10
The internal design shall incorporate features to aid orientation and way finding, and these should be an integral part of the Contractor proposals.  Where possible, use of colour, texture and landscape should be designed so that traditional directional signage is not required around the site, or can be kept to a minimum.  Overall the signage shall be clear and will provide the different Facility' names and directional details enabling visitors, staff and the emergency services to easily locate the required destinations (internally and externally).

All signage in the Facility shall provide clear directions for all Users (including Users with disabilities) and which are uniform in style across the Facility.

All materials and components shall comply with their appropriate British Standards.

All signage shall be compliant with all Legislation and statutory requirements on the means of escape. Signage must be clear and instructive and comply with health and safety guidelines (e.g. "Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools") and the DDA (by utilising publications such as BS: 8300 "Sign Design Guide' and 'Colour, Contrast and Perception").

The Facility and all Zones within shall have appropriate legible signage, which defines their purpose and be usable and free from graffiti at all times.
