WashU Medicine Departmental Signage Planning

The OFMD Signage Planning team maintains a standard interior signage program for all WashU Medicine-owned and managed facilities. Depending on the building, there is typically a predetermined size, format, and lettering style that is approved for campus signage.

The BJC Sign Shop will continue to manage on- and off-campus signage requests for buildings that are BJC-owned, BJC-managed, or in public areas that are shared between the two entities. If you have a signage request in the following BJC buildings, please email your request directly to signshop@bjc.org

For projects over $15k, please fill out the Capital Project Planning and Project Request Form to initiate a capital project; for example, exterior monument styles or other large sign installations.

OFMD Project Managers and Planners requesting signage, please fill out the Project Relocation & Signage Request Form from “Project Delivery Tools and References”
