Design and Construction Standards
District Design Guidelines and Standards serve as a reference to ensure each project meets the
Districts’ overall performance, aesthetic, and standardized requirements. They are
provided to each architectural firm when they are contracted for work.
A Design Standards Task Force and sub-groups were formed to review a set of draft standards. Participants were asked to review existing design standards in the following areas:
- Space Standards for Classrooms and Offices
- Technology and Acoustics
- Plumbing and Mechanical
- Electrical and Lighting
- Interior Finishes and Signage
- Hardscape and Security
- Landscape and Civil Engineering
- Roofing and Moisture Control, Exterior Finishes
Participants included representatives from the colleges and the District. Their review
and input was solicited by the Design Standards Task Force at key milestones.
