Campus Standards and Design Guidelines

The University Architect and the Office of Campus Planning and Design (UA/CPD)  , also referred to as Campus Planning, are the stewards of all campus aesthetics and planning. They maintain consistency in design standards (interior, exterior, landscape, etc.), oversee campus planning, and help ensure appropriate historic preservation. Campus Planning will provide guidance to help you meet all necessary campus standards and design guidelines for your project.

Contact Campus Planning early in the process, particularly if your project will:

• Modify any exterior architecture/landscape
• Modify any interior common areas or primary space
• Modify any historic buildings/resources
• Impact circulation (vehicular, pedestrian, bike, parking, etc.)
• Involve siting new structures/equipment (lighting, signs, site furniture, etc.)
• Require construction laydown

Campus Standards and Design Guidelines tips:

• Be sure to follow the appropriate standards and guidelines during your project
• Some historic resources include exterior artwork, fountains, heritage trees, and plaques
• Historic stewardship is legislated - Campus Planning provides design leadership and preservation expertise
