Construction Design Guidelines

Facilities has specific Design Guidelines for all remodels and new construction.

Every effort has been made to insure that these Design Guidelines reflect sound design and engineering principals, however if any A/E finds that the application of any of these Design Guidelines would result in a inappropriate or compromising situation, the A/E should notify the UND Project Manager in writing. The existence of these Design Guidelines does not relieve design A/E’s from any contractually obligated professional responsibilities.
