The University of Applied Sciences Potsdam commis­sioned the creation of a signage system for the automatic door openers on campus. The aim of the signage was to make university members aware of the use of these buttons, as the manual opening of automatic doors can lead to technical problems.

After documenting all automatic doors and their buttons, a concept for a signage system was developed and imple­mented. It consists of a combi­nation of aluminium frames and door stickers, which can be integrated with the different button types and doors of all buildings on the campus and which are easy to maintain.
