J.6.1 ARTWORK AND BULLETIN BOARDS
J.6.1.1 Artwork
Artwork should be used to enhance all areas, including lobbies; waiting rooms; general office areas; corridors; conference rooms; break rooms; restaurants and cafeterias; lodging; and recreational areas. Create themes for artwork throughout facilities and follow established standards for matting, framing, and displaying. Facilities with multiple floors can have varied themes from floor to floor as long as there are smooth transitions between each theme. Avoid suggestive or controversial subjects when choosing artwork. All hanging artwork must be attached to walls so that each piece is straight and aligned. Consider using security locks on artwork that could easily be pilfered.
J.6.1.2 Bulletin Boards
Bulletin boards and tackboards should be provided in common areas to display notices and announcements. These boards should coordinate with signs and other adjacent buildings’ finishes. Avoid taping literature to walls, doors, or windows. This is unprofessional and tape creates a tacky film that may harm surfaces.
