California Title 24 compliant wayfinding sign systems for tech offices, corporate campuses, medical facilities, and multi-tenant buildings across Silicon Valley. Room ID, directional signs, directories, and branded wayfinding — designed, supplied, and installed by our San Jose team.
ADA wayfinding is the complete system of interior signs that helps people navigate a building — and ensures that system meets federal ADA and California Title 24 accessibility requirements. It goes beyond individual room plaques. A complete wayfinding program includes room identification signs, corridor directionals, floor directories, elevator lobby signs, stairwell IDs, restroom signs, and accessible route markers — all working together as a cohesive, code-compliant system.
In California, the requirements are stricter than federal ADA minimums. California Building Code Title 24 mandates specific tactile character specs, Grade 2 Braille, non-glare finishes, mounting heights between 48 and 60 inches above finished floor, and pictogram field minimums of 6 inches. Any new tenant build-out or significant renovation in a Silicon Valley commercial building requires a complete ADA sign package before the City issues a Certificate of Occupancy.
For Silicon Valley companies, there's an additional layer of expectation: the signs need to look good. A code-compliant blue plastic plaque doesn't fit a Class A tech office or a biotech campus. We design wayfinding programs that meet every Title 24 requirement while matching your interior design language — material, color, typography, and finish.
All permanent room and facility signs require raised tactile characters (minimum 1/32" relief) in uppercase sans-serif lettering between ⅝" and 2" high. Grade 2 contracted Braille is required below the tactile text, separated by at least ⅜".
Tactile signs mount on the latch side of the door. The baseline of the lowest tactile character must be between 48" and 60" above finished floor. Double doors: sign on the right-hand door.
Minimum 70% light-dark contrast between characters and background. Non-glare finish required — eggshell, matte, or satin. High-gloss surfaces are non-compliant regardless of contrast ratio.
Single-occupancy restrooms require geometric shapes: equilateral triangle (point up) for men, circle for women, triangle superimposed on circle for all-gender — in addition to tactile text and Braille.
Pictogram fields must be at least 6" high. The International Symbol of Accessibility is required on accessible restrooms, parking, and building entrances. Non-glare finish and contrast requirements apply.
Any room not open to the public but used by occupants: conference rooms, private offices, restrooms, stairwells, mechanical rooms, storage, and any room identified by number or name. Required before Certificate of Occupancy.
Tactile and Braille room ID signs for every permanent room — conference rooms, offices, restrooms, stairwells, mechanical rooms, and storage. The foundation of any compliant interior sign program.
Overhead or wall-mounted directional signs guiding visitors through multi-corridor floors. Compliant typography with directional arrows — designed to match your interior aesthetic, not look like hospital signage.
Lobby and elevator directories listing tenants, departments, or room numbers. Available in static or changeable-insert formats — modular systems allow updates without replacing the hardware.
Floor identification signs at elevator landings, meeting both ADA tactile requirements and California Title 24 specs for elevator lobbies — often the most overlooked element in a wayfinding audit.
California-compliant restroom signs with correct geometric shapes, ISA symbol, tactile characters, and Braille. Accessible route markers for ramps, accessible entrances, and parking.
A complete architectural wayfinding system used in corporate campuses, medical facilities, and universities worldwide. ADA-compliant inserts in branded aluminum frames — field-replaceable when rooms change.
Most ADA wayfinding programs use generic plastic plaques. Vista System is different — a modular architectural sign system that meets every Title 24 requirement while looking like it belongs in a Class A Silicon Valley office.
Vista System's modular frames — available in classic curved, flat, frameless, and illuminated configurations — accept field-replaceable graphic inserts. When a room gets renamed, a tenant moves out, or your company rebrands, you replace the insert, not the hardware. For Silicon Valley tech companies where teams and room functions change frequently, this matters.
We've installed Vista System wayfinding programs for corporate offices, medical facilities, and multi-tenant buildings across the South Bay. Every installation is designed to match the client's brand — color, typography, material finish — while meeting all ADA and California Title 24 requirements. We handle the full sign schedule: room-by-room compliance review, design, fabrication, and installation.
Every wayfinding project starts with a room-by-room compliance review. We identify which rooms require tactile signs, flag any existing non-compliant signs, and produce a complete sign schedule before quoting — so there are no surprises at inspection and no missing signs discovered after installation.
Silicon Valley offices have design standards. We design wayfinding programs that match your interior — custom color palettes, brand typography, material finishes — while meeting every ADA and Title 24 requirement. Compliant doesn't have to mean institutional.
We work directly with general contractors and interior architects during tenant improvements, and with property managers on building-wide wayfinding programs. We provide sign schedules, cut sheets, and installation coordination to fit your project timeline and inspection requirements.
Tech companies rename rooms, reorganize floors, and rebrand. Modular wayfinding systems with replaceable inserts mean those changes cost a fraction of full sign replacement. We keep your sign specs on file for fast reorders — same material, same finish, same compliance.
Multi-floor office wayfinding for tech companies — room IDs, directionals, directories, and conference room signs that match the office design standard and survive frequent rebrands and reorgs.
ADA wayfinding for medical offices, clinics, and healthcare campuses — where clear, compliant signage isn't just a code requirement but a patient experience and safety issue.
Building-wide wayfinding programs for commercial property owners — lobby directories, floor signage, and common area signs that serve all tenants while remaining easy to update as tenants change.
Compliant wayfinding for biotech facilities, research labs, and pharmaceutical offices in Silicon Valley — precise, durable, and meeting the documentation standards of regulated environments.
Campus wayfinding for private schools, university satellite campuses, and educational facilities — ADA-compliant room IDs, directionals, and accessible route signs throughout.
Sign schedule development, compliant fabrication, and installation coordination for TI projects across Silicon Valley — we meet your punch list and inspection timeline without holding up the CO.
We start with a compliance review so you know exactly what's required before fabrication begins.
We conduct a room-by-room review of your floor plan — identifying every room that requires an ADA sign under California Title 24, flagging existing non-compliant signs, and producing a complete sign schedule with quantities and specifications before any fabrication commitment.
We design the wayfinding system to match your interior — color palette, typography, material finish — while meeting all ADA and Title 24 requirements. You review and approve sample signs before the full program goes into production.
Signs are fabricated to ADA and CBC specifications — tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, non-glare finish, correct contrast ratio. Every sign is inspected before packaging. For modular systems, hardware and inserts are assembled and labeled by room for efficient installation.
Our team installs at correct mounting heights per CBC §11B-703.4, on the latch side of each door, with proper clearances. We provide a completed sign schedule and installation documentation for your permit file and inspection sign-off.
