Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ design and construction standards
Use and intent of standards
The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Design and Construction Standards establish guidelines and requirements for designing and building new structures and for remodeling existing structures at all Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ facilities. The standards are a collaboration between the Office of Planning and Construction and Facilities Management Services, in partnership with many other key stakeholders of the college’s built environment.
The standards are intended to create a level of consistency across all projects and to serve as a link between the built environment across all Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ campuses and Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ goals for equity, sustainability, and environmental safety. Contractors, professional design services consultants, and Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ staff will use these standards as a basis for planning and executing design and construction projects.
The Office of Planning and Construction manages the standards document. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ may consider variances to these standards upon review and written approval by the Office of Planning and Construction Managing Architect. A variance refers to a request for change by a consultant in compliance with the standards.
