Signage for Sports & Leisure Centres Architectural Signs Sydney

There are many different types of indoor recreation facilities and each according to its purpose, has the need for specific facilities in order to satisfy its function.

The indoor sports centre may provide the nucleus for management of surrounding sports fields, as well as providing a range of general facilities, liaising with a variety of sports organisations such as schools, private clubs and individuals.

General requirements and Tips for managing indoor facilities

Access Signage

This should be controlled preferably by a single well signed, and easily approached entry point but with several suitable and well signed exits points.

• Good clear well signed access is also important within the indoor facility.
  A maze of ill lit, poorly signed passageways will guarantee that someone will get lost or delayed, perhaps missing the start of a sporting event.
• Provision should be made for different types of users e.g. disabled, visually impaired, etc.
  Braille signs - mandatory requirement.

General Signage

• Should be adequate but not too much, otherwise people get confused or just turned off (and don't read it).
• Needs to be large enough (both the sign and writing) to easily read.
• The writing should clearly stand out (contrast) from the background so it is easily read.
• Keep the information you are trying to convey clear and succinct.
• Ensure signs are regularly cleaned, so that their messages are easily read.
• Signs telling people where not to go (e.g. staff only, authorised personnel only, no exit) can be just as important as those telling people where to go (e.g. exit, changing rooms, kiosk).
• Foreign language signs can be very important in areas with high migrant populations, or that are visited by tourists. (*Internet Source).
