Orange County Convention Center

Interior Signage

One of the largest construction projects in the southeastern United States, and the second largest convention center, make this exhibit space a prominent destination for conventioneers from around the world. The center consists of 2.9 million square feet of exhibit space and 350,000 square feet of meeting rooms, auditoriums and general assembly space.

A combination of new and renovation construction presented the environmental graphic design team with the challenge of unifying the design and theme. Upgrading the facility to comply with The Americans with Disabilities Act was also involved in a code compliance retrofit project for Phase I and the renovation of Phases II and IIa.

Site Signage

The addition of Phases 3 and 4 to the Orange County Convention Center more than doubled the complex’s size, to two million square feet. This resulted in the need for new site signage for vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The design concept utilizes a quarter circle found in the architectural details of the building.

New primary identification, constructed of brushed and painted aluminum with internally illuminated push-through acrylic letters, will be located at both site entrances. Primary directional signs will occur at major site intersections. Secondary directionals use reflective vinyl copy to reinforce primary directional messages.

Pedestrian directionals move users from parking areas and surrounding hotels into the convention center.
