Fire and Building codes are changing to require the stairway identification sign inside the stairwell be mounted at a minimum of 60" to the bottom, rather than 60" to center. The codes then require the top line of copy to be 1.5" cap height (Stair name) and 1" cap height (roof access or no roof access or "FIRE DEPT. ROOF ACCESS"). With that mounting height, the top lines of copy are above 70". Increasing the size of the copy required to meet ADA makes a sign that is much greater in size than the standard 18" x 12". What are the requirements for meeting ADA visual copy in this situation? (Example code for reference is: 2017 DC Building Code Section 1023.9.2.1.1) |
