When UCLA Health prepared to open its new outpatient facility in San Luis Obispo, CA, there was no room for ambiguity. As a trusted healthcare institution serving all of California, they needed a monument sign that would guide patients with clarity and confidence — while reflecting the quiet professionalism that defines their brand.
Signature Signs, a longtime signage partner for UCLA Health, was selected to design and fabricate the main monument sign at the facility’s entrance. Built with precision and aligned with UCLA Health’s brand guidelines, this sign doesn’t just mark a location — it reinforces a promise.
Our relationship with UCLA Health spans multiple locations and many years. That history allowed us to approach this project not as a vendor, but as a brand steward — with full fluency in UCLA Health’s visual language, compliance standards, and expectations for quality.
This San Luis Obispo installation is part of that ongoing trust. While other signs on-site were handled by different providers, the monument sign at the entrance — designed, fabricated, and installed by our team — is the anchor.
Located near the front of 862 Aerovista Place, the monument sign serves as the primary exterior identification point for the facility. It was engineered to meet several essential criteria:
The base and face were constructed with layered panels in matte slate and bright white, creating sharp contrast while maintaining a professional medical tone.
Healthcare signage isn’t decorative — it’s directional, emotional, and mission-critical. This sign was built to:
While wayfinding signs and building numerals contribute to the full experience, it’s the monument sign that speaks first. For many visitors, this sign is the first visual confirmation that they’re in the right place — and that they’re in good hands.
UCLA Health now has a highly visible, brand-faithful monument that supports its mission: to make quality care accessible, approachable, and unmistakable — starting at the curb.
With deep experience in healthcare environments and long-term collaboration with UCLA Health, Signature Signs delivers signage that doesn’t just meet specs — it upholds standards. We understand the weight a sign carries when it leads someone to care. And we build with that in mind.
Trust is earned before a patient ever walks in the door.
Let’s create monument signage that makes your mission visible.
