Following our university’s Sign Guidelines will create consistency and efficiencies across the university.

The primary purpose of the sign guidelines is to outline a consistent, uniform interior and exterior sign and wayfinding system for Carnegie Mellon University that meets the needs of the primary audience: first-time and infrequent visitors. These sign guidelines also exist to help the CMU campus fulfill its sign needs efficiently, affordably and consistently across campus.

Request for new or replacement signs must be made through fixit@andrew.cmu.edu.
