Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

KENNESAW, GA

KMA Design has been included in an elite group of three firms selected by the National Park Service (NPS) to partake in NPS’ various signage updates and renovation projects over the next five years.

NPS is one of the nation’s principal conservation agencies. The agency has the responsibility to protect some of the most treasured natural and historic resources. This includes the management of nearly 400 parks, visited annually by some 275 million people from around the world.

KMA Design will provide NPS with sign planning and design services that supplement and complement signage offered by the Harpers Ferry Center, current manager of NPS’ sign program. Signs will offer clear, concise and consistent communications to park visitors. Signs will also maximize the public’s convenience and safety by ensuring compliance with pertinent federal regulations. To strengthen the agency’s public identity, and its image as a single organization, signage will reflect the agency’s new sign standards.

KMA Design developed a comprehensive assessment and report on signage and wayfinding planning at the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, located in Kennesaw, GA.

KMA Design surveyed the park and present the comprehensive signage needs for the park, including recommendations on what types of signs were needed, where they should be located and what design variations from current standards should be considered.

Signage needs for the park include highway directional signs to the park, informational signs at the Visitor Center, trailhead signs, trail directional signs, interpretive waysides, and resource protection signs.

This assessment report was the first step in developing a comprehensive sign and wayfinding master plan for the park.
