Directory Signs: Help Visitors Find Their Destination
Multi-tenant buildings and corporate campuses need clear information systems that help visitors locate specific businesses, departments, or individuals quickly. Directory signs provide organized listings that eliminate confusion and create professional first impressions.
At Mustang Signs, we design and fabricate custom directory signs that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal throughout the Inland Northwest. From office buildings to medical complexes, we create directory systems that guide visitors efficiently.
What Are Directory Signs?
Directory signs are informational displays listing tenants, departments, suite numbers, or employee names in an organized format. These signs are typically placed in building lobbies, elevator landings, or main entrances where visitors need orientation information.
Effective directory signs present information hierarchically—often alphabetically or by floor—using clear typography and logical organization that allows people to find their destination at a glance.
Why Invest in Directory Signs?
Reduced Confusion – Clear listings eliminate the "where do I go?" moment that creates stress and wastes time for visitors arriving at your facility.
Professional Image – Well-designed directories demonstrate organizational sophistication and attention to visitor experience.
Staff Efficiency – When visitors can self-navigate using directories, reception staff spend less time giving directions and more time on value-added activities.
Tenant Satisfaction – In multi-tenant buildings, prominent directory placement ensures all businesses receive equal visibility and easy discovery.
Building Value – Quality directory systems enhance property appeal and marketability for commercial real estate.
Changeable vs. Permanent Systems
Changeable Directory Systems – Feature removable panels, inserts, or sliding nameplates that allow easy updates as tenants come and go. Ideal for multi-tenant buildings with frequent changes.
Permanent Directories – Engraved or printed systems appropriate for stable tenant rosters or corporate campuses where listings rarely change.
Digital Directories – Touchscreen displays offering searchable databases, interactive maps, and dynamic content updates without physical modifications.
Our sign design team helps you select the right system based on your update frequency, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Directory Sign FAQ
What types of directory signs can you create?
We fabricate wall-mounted directories with changeable panels for easy tenant updates, freestanding directory kiosks for lobby placement, illuminated directories with backlit panels for enhanced visibility, digital directories with touchscreen navigation for large facilities, and exterior directories guiding visitors before they enter the building.
Each system can be customized with materials, finishes, and branding elements that complement your interior design and architectural features.
How often can directory information be updated?
Changeable systems allow updates anytime. We provide tenant update kits or can handle changes for you as part of ongoing maintenance.
Can directory signs match our building's design?
Absolutely. We customize frames, finishes, and materials to coordinate with your lobby aesthetics and architectural features.
What about ADA compliance for directories?
Informational directories have different requirements than room identification signs. We ensure appropriate mounting heights and readability standards.
