| Description | The general scope of this project is to Design a Wayfinding System for the Syracuse VAMC. The project will plan, design and program an interior and exterior sign and graphics program for the Syracuse VA Medical Center located at 800 Irving Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210. The exterior sign program will identify buildings and provide directional wayfinding. The interior sign program will evaluate the existing room numbering system, provide for new code / life safety signs, new room identification and a directional wayfinding sign program in all buildings onsite to include the following: Building 1, Building 2, Building 16, SCI Building, and the VA parking garage. INTERIOR TASKS The Environmental Graphic Design firm will review the existing room numbering system and advise the medical center of areas that the existing room number system warrants improvement. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will develop a system that will enhance visitor and staff to better orient themselves in the physical space and navigate from place to place. Proposed options for new wayfinding system will be reviewed with facility Engineering and Interior Design. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will design and program an interior room identification sign program. This will involve programming and sign location plans being prepared for all of the room identification signs throughout the selected medical center/ facility.

Sign location plans will be prepared showing the placement/location and mounting method of the signs. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will design and program a life safety, code and regulatory sign program. This will involve programming and sign location plans being prepared for all of the regulatory, code and life safety signs throughout the selected medical center/facility. This will include a complete sign message schedule identifying each sign, its message and its type. Sign location plans will be prepared showing the placement/location and mounting method of regulatory, code and life safety signs. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will design and program a directional wayfinding sign program. This will involve programming and sign location plans being prepared for all of the directional signs throughout the selected medical center/facility. This will include a complete sign message schedule identifying each sign, its message and its type. Sign location plans will be prepared showing the placement/location and mounting method of directional signs. The Environmental Graphic Design Specialist will develop a report identifying architectural, interior design and communication problems at the facilities that need to be changed and improved to provide better identification, circulation and communication of services for patients and visitors. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will develop the design scheme for the look of the interior sign program.

Terminology, names and titles, flexibility of the system, form and scale, and legibility will also be considerations in developing the design scheme. The design documents will identify material finishes, trims, sign construction, installation and other design details. The documents will include elevation drawing of each sign type with applicable size and layout dimensions and any necessary side, top and back views. The Environmental Graphic Design firm will develop the design scheme for the look of the wayfinding system to include recommendations to the physical environment. The design will generally define the various types of proposed changes to finishes such as floors, walls, graphics, lighting, ceiling, artwork, colors, architectural features that which incorporated into the signage program will provide for a complete master plan that could be implemented all at one time or in a phased manner. Materials and finishes, durability, design concepts, layout, and color, continuity of the system, form and scale, and legibility will also be considerations in developing the design scheme. The design documents will identify material finishes, trims, materials and systems construction, installation and other design details. The documents will include elevation drawing of each concept type, layout dimensions and any necessary side, top and back views and construction details.
