Design Standards are intended to identify the standards and preferences of FP&CP and are applied to all remodels and new construction at: 榴莲视频官方 at Kearney (UNK), 榴莲视频官方 at Lincoln (UNL) and 榴莲视频官方 at Omaha (UNO). They are broken down into the following sections:
- Design Narratives: These convey NU design requirements and preferences to design A/Es.
- Design Specifications: These are to be used for both internal and externally designed projects. The A/E shall be responsible for incorporating these into the project contract documents as well as any deletes/edits/additions required to tailor them to project specific requirements.
- Design Details: Same intent and stipulations as Design Specifications.
- CAD Standards: These convey required layering schemes, coloring, fonts, etc. for all construction documents.
- Space and Door Numbering Standard: These are required so we can achieve door and room identification consistency across all buildings and all campuses.
- Wayfinding and Signage
- Conformance to Campus Master Plan: New buildings and major renovations are required to adhere to the most recent campus master plan.
- Archived Design Guidelines: Past versions of the Design Guidelines can be found here.
- Forms: These are used to request modifications or project specific waivers.
Every effort has been made to insure that these Design Standards reflect sound design and engineering principals. However, if any A/E finds that the application any of these Design Standards is inappropriate to their project, please notify the NU Project Manager in writing. The existence of these Design Standards does not relieve design A/Es from any contractually obligated professional responsibilities.
We welcome suggestions for additions and revisions to these documents. Please fill out the Design Standards Revision Request form found here.
