Design and Construction Standards and University Archtect's Campus Design Guidelines
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.
