Hi everyone
I do not think that Rhun ever got a reply to the message below. Surely some
of us must have some views on this matter.
I personally would have thought that room numbers were ok as long as that is
how people refer to the room. I attended a meeting a while ago where the
receptionist kindly told me the meeting was in the "bell room". I was given
directions to find it on the lower floor which I followed until I got to the
room at the end of the corridor and there was still no sign telling me I had
found the bell room. I went back and asked someone and it was the room at
the end and it did have a bell in it, but how was I to know this?
I would have thought the position of the signs is also crucial along with
consistency of placing.
regards
marcus

Dear List
Anyone with thoughts about a baseline policy
for Signage that includes Braille?
I refer in particular to :
Is it absolutely necessary to have text for
rooms names etc? For compliance, can it be just the
room number in dual text and tactile accompanied
by Braille.
If this is done then bilingual (as in Welsh/English)
text and bilingual Braille is avoided, also any
future room name changes.
I have seen this in one HE Institution - without
any names of tutors or what the rooms are used for.
Regards
Rhun
