Ithaca College

The college’s exterior vehicular directional signage system was completed late last semester and now should be utilized for all campus events. To provide the best experience possible to our visitors, the following guidelines and options have been developed for temporary event-related signage for on-campus college-sponsored events. All three options include standardized design templates in which event-related text can be customized.

Option #1: Slide-In Signs

Campus road signs have one or more slide-in spaces for event signs. The slide-in signs can be produced at either full width or half width. The timeline for ordering slide-in signs is ten working days and the cost is approximately $30 for full width and $15 for half width signs.

Option #2: Sandwich Board Signs

Sandwich board signs are 2’ by 3’ and are designed to be placed in plastic holders that can be set around campus. Sandwich board signs require ten working days to produce and cost approximately $25 each.

 Option #3: Free Standing Signs

Signs made from chloroplast and mounted on aluminum stakes can be placed around campus and near walkways to direct pedestrians and/or vehicles. These signs require ten working days to produce and cost approximately $15, which includes the metal stake.

All event-related directional signage should be ordered through the Campus Center and Event Services Office, which will work with the Center for Print Production to complete all orders. All signs produced become the property of the ordering department or group upon the completion of the event and should be stored for reuse if possible.

Please note that temporary signs should not be taped or affixed to any permanent signage on campus.

If you have any questions about the new event-related directional signage options and which type of sign(s) would work best for your event, please contact the Campus Center and Event Services Office at 274-3313.
