Sign Shop

Evergreen's sign shop creates, installs and maintains the college's permanent signs on our campuses.

Our Services

The Sign Shop fabricates, installs and maintains all permanent signs on our campuses. In addition, complete design and fabrication services are available to the Evergreen community at competitive rates. Free cost estimates and preliminary designs can be provided upon request.

The Sign Shop can create free-standing, hanging, wall mounted, A-frame (sandwich board), banners and hard or soft board signs. Cutting-edge technology has narrowed the gap between temporary and permanent signs, both in cost and aesthetics. Temporary sign options capitalize on modern labor-saving techniques and competitive substrate materials. Design samples and graphics copied to email, printed on paper or vinyl are available upon request.

The goal of the Sign Shop is to provide friendly service and have satisfied customers. Clients are welcome to visit the shop to view design samples, materials, available colors and fonts, as well as design consultation. Since staff are often working out in the field, call for an appointment if you plan to visit.

Permanent Campus Signs

Evergreen is working to standardize and modernize all signage on our campuses. As older signs wear-out, they are replaced with current sign standards.

The Americans with Disabilities Act dictates the placement of wall and ceiling-mounted room or area identification signs. In addition, Evergreen applies Washington State Department of Transportation standards to all roadway, parking lot and some trailhead signs.

Average installation time for a permanent sign is 10 days from the date of the request (subject to material availability and delivery). With early requests, signs can often be installed by a specified day.

Payment

Facilities Services pays for routine location changes, maintenance, repair or replacement of existing permanent signs. The requesting work area or organization pays for new and custom signs.
