(e) Notice Boards. Notice Boards help control clutter and can readily accommodate changing
information pertaining to instruction schedules, text requirements, etc. They should be used adjacent
to entries into individual shops, lecture rooms, seminar and classrooms, and elsewhere as appropriate. A
general notice board should be located in the information registration area and in the student
lounge. Simple notice boards can be created by providing a 3 foot to 5 foot wide field of a solid base
color surmounted at the 6 1/2 foot level by a 6 inch white board with the word "Notices" in a 4 inch black
Ietterform (such as Helvetica Medium). One or two narrow tack strips at the 6 foot and 4 foot levels
should be provided as required for thumbtacking notices.
(6) Graphics. While mainly decorative, graphics may frequently incorporate floor numbers, direc-
tional indicators, safety markings, Army insignia, and so on. When professionally done, they can be
most effective in livening up spaces and producing interest such as in large rooms or circulation
spaces.
