Design & 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 or Robin Mitchell at 404.727.1743
Emory's Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) department maintains additional Design Specifications. Architects, engineering consultants must adhere to these requirements when addressing communications needs for new and renovated buildings.
