Design and Construction Standards:

Emory’s Design and Construction Standards provide architects, engineers, design consultants and contractors with specific standards and specifications for construction activity on Emory University property.  They serve to summarize principles unique to the University’s aesthetic and structural preferences, specialized nature of each facility, requirements applied by the University’s insurance carrier, and knowledge gained from experience with construction, operations and maintenance issues.


For further information about Emory's Design and Construction Standards, contact Stuart Adler at 404.727.4794.

Emory's University Technology Services (UTS) department maintains additional Design Specifications. Architects, engineering consultants must adhere to these requirements when addressing communications needs for new and renovated buildings.

Campus Design Guidelines:

Emory University has several design guidelines to facilitate consistent design aesthetics for campus grounds, buildings and the needs of programmed interior spaces.  The Campus Master Plan and Campus Design Guidelines are maintained by the University Architect's office. Their office can be reached by calling 404.727.1593.
