Phase 3 - PRELIMINARY PROGRAMMING & DESIGN
The Environmental Graphic Design firm will revise the new room numbering
system based upon comments received from the facility. When the room
numbering revisions are complete, the Environmental Graphic Design firm will
issue the final documentation to the facility project coordinator that will consist
of floor plans, which list both the new and the old number. This documentation
will be incorporated into the new room identification sign program.
The Environmental Graphic Design firm will survey and review the project for
sign locations, text and placements. With the exterior signs, evaluations will be
made regarding sign illumination requirements. For the exterior directional signs,
evaluations will involve analyzing public, employee and vehicular circulation
and traffic flow patterns around the project site. On the basis of information
gathered in these activities and in the Planning Phase, the Environmental Graphic
Design firm will develop the schematic design scheme for the "look" of the sign
program. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will identify finishes, trims,
types of signs and other design details. This will all be based upon a component
based sign system as identified in the VA Sign & Graphic design Guide, created
for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Emphasis will be placed on developing
a sign program that provides the facility with a progressive professional look,
coordinated with the buildingʼs interior design and architecture, re-cycle element
of the existing exterior sign program, if possible, and address the facilityʼs
maintenance requirements. For both the interior of the buildings and the exterior
signs for the campus, a preliminary sign location plan will be prepared along with
a preliminary sign message schedule.
The schematic design scheme, preliminary sign location plan and preliminary
message schedule will be presented to Facility Management, coordinated by the
facility project manager, for their review and comment. The Environmental
Graphic Design Specialist will assist the facility in the review of the documents
and the assembly of the facilities review comments.
Deliverables: 3 hard copies and 1 electronic file (PDF); Drawings illustrating the
proposed look, color, trim, etc. of the interior and exterior sign program;
Preliminary sign location plan and message schedule.

Phase 4 - FINAL PROGRAMMING & DESIGN
After the schematic design of the sign program and the preliminary sign location
plan and message schedule has been reviewed and approved by the medical center/
facility, the Environmental Graphic Design firm will proceed to develop the draft
of the sign project documents involving the sign type drawings and specifications.
These documents will show preliminary illustrations of all interior and exterior
sign types in the sign program. A preliminary draft of the specifications and
budget will be developed that will define the cost of implementing the program.
The Environmental Graphic Design firm will revise the sign location plan and
message schedule. These documents will be presented to appropriate facility staff
for review and comment.
Deliverables: 3 hard copies and 1 electronic file (PDF); Preliminary version of the
sign project manual showing all of the sign types, revised sign location plans and
message schedule; Preliminary specifications and budget.
