Display Guidelines
Display Guidelines for UW Tower Buildings
Display guidelines for the UW Tower, O, S and C building office spaces and common areas have been adapted to follow University of Washington campus building policy. The intent of the guidelines is to provide UW Tower tenants with manageable ways to display posters, flyers, banners and informational media within the facility.
Poster/Flyer Display Policies
There is a strict no taping or tacking policy for the posting of the following items within the UW Tower properties. These items are restricted to display on sign standards, easels or designated bulletin boards:
• Posters • Flyers • Temporary directional signs • Advertisement • Announcements
Taping and tacking postings directly on walls damages the paint and wall. Too many posters and flyers create visual clutter and intended messages are not read.
Bulletin Boards
UW Tower public bulletin boards are located on the C-4 level in the cafeteria entrance corridor. There are three large, glass enclosed and locking bulletin boards for tenant use. Access to these locked cases is available through uwtower@u.washington.edu . Bulletin boards are identified and labeled as A, B and C.
Bulletin boards in other locations are not public. Posting in these areas requires departmental approval.
