Clear, consistent signage plays a critical role in how people experience and navigate Queen’s University. From first impressions on campus to everyday wayfinding, signage supports accessibility, safety, and a cohesive institutional presence.
These Signage Guidelines establish a standardized system for the design, production, and implementation of signage across campus. They are intended to ensure signage is clear, accessible, and aligned with Queen’s Visual Identity and Brand Style, while supporting efficient navigation for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
This guide outlines approved sign types, design specifications, and ordering processes for permanent exterior and interior wayfinding, regulatory, informational, and donor signage. Adhering to these standards helps maintain a consistent campus environment and reinforces Queen’s identity across all physical spaces.
