ADA and Braille Signs
Federal law requires it. Operational professionalism demands it. For organizations managing government buildings, corporate offices, and public facilities across the capital region, ADA-compliant signage is a baseline requirement with real legal and reputational consequences when it falls short. District Visual Communications (DVC) designs and delivers ADA signs and Braille signage that meet every federal standard and integrate with your facility's visual identity.
The capital region has more federally regulated facilities per square mile than anywhere else in the country. Working with a partner that understands ADA standards — and takes full responsibility for getting them right — is the difference between compliance and liability.
ADA Compliance You Can Count On
ADA signage requires careful attention to a defined set of standards, including tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, mounting height, color contrast, and finish requirements. These elements need to be addressed consistently to ensure signage performs as intended within the built environment.
District Visual Communications (DVC) incorporates ADA requirements into the design and production process from the outset, verifying each sign against current standards before installation. The result is signage that is compliant, professionally executed, and integrated with the overall design of the space, without adding complexity to your team’s scope.
