There are several types of signs across the University's campuses. Each sign is designed and created using the Design and Facility Standards and the Māori Language policy, ensuring that signage is consistent and uses appropriate te reo Māori translations.
Many of the signs on campus are designed to enable accessibility, as well as to promote and encourage the use of te reo Māori.
Signs on campus include:
- Building signs
- Door signs (including staff names and toilets)
- Hanging signs
- Health and safety signs
- Parking signs
- Privacy frosting on glass
- The University of Otago crest/logo
- Wayfinders (both interally and externally)
- Welcome signs
Other types of signs can be made, e.g. for art installations, events, honours boards, memorials, murals, flags and specific lab signs.
Privacy film and window tints can also be installed, including frosted designs on glass.
When a sign needs to be changed, updated, installed or removed, a request can be made.
