Design and Wayfinding Standards Manual

Vendors to develop a complete, coordinated, and implementable university Campus Design and Wayfinding Standards Manual.
- Wayfinding document includes a useful structure for sign hierarchy, sign types, visibility, placement, roadway signage, pedestrian signage, exterior-building signage, interior-building signage, definitions, and technical specifications.
- Shall develop a Manual that:
• Establishes consistent, campus-compatible design and construction standards.
• Addresses all applicable construction divisions, facility systems, site elements, and wayfinding components.
• Supports NMSU’s climate, operational needs, deferred-maintenance realities, and maintenance resources.
• Identifies preferred products, systems, manufacturers, and performance standards where appropriate.
• Reduces inconsistent project-specific decisions and undocumented substitutions.
• Establishes durable, maintainable, repairable, and accessible standards.
• Provides clear expectations for testing, commissioning, training, warranties, spare parts, attic stock, record documents, and turnover.
• Creates a refreshed and integrated wayfinding system that supports campus navigation, institutional identity, safety, accessibility, and future campus growth.
• Provides practical tools that can be used by internal staff and external project teams at every stage of project delivery.
• Establishes governance and a sustainable process for future Manual administration, updates, exceptions, and approvals.
