Does anyone know what font is used to typeset the signage inside and around the Berkeley Library?

From what I remember, it's Akzidenz-Grotesk, or a similar grotesque on the outside.
Post an image of what you're trying to identify.

Thanks a lot Redukt, that's exactly what I suspected it to be.

Moot point now perhaps, but here's a picture of what I was referring to

pfm, I would have used that font finder thing, but I don't think the resolution of the image (or any other I could find) was high enough.

Out of interest, is it the same font they use for the lecture theatre names on the Arts Building concourse?

It is, as far as I can tell anyway.
