Facility Design and Construction Standards

The Facility Design and Construction Standards is a set of guideline design documents, technical specifications, and detail drawings to be used by architects, consultants, contractors, and Brown personnel in design, construction, and repair projects in buildings and on infrastructure on the Brown campus. Brown University's intent is to build cost effective buildings and infrastructure without restricting latitude for innovation. Architects and other designers are encouraged to propose innovative and cost-effective variations that meet or exceed the Guidelines; however, any deviation must be brought to the attention of the Brown Project Manager for review and written approval prior to incorporation into the project.

DISCLAIMER

Architects, design consultants, contractors and construction managers engaged by Brown University shall be fully responsible and liable for their designs and construction, regardless of the extent to which the Facilities Design Guidelines are used or followed in the project, and regardless of any approvals or acceptance of design or construction documents by Brown University or its personnel.

Consult with the Brown Project Manager in identifying the sections of the Facility Design and Construction Standards that pertain to each project. Brown University does not, by publishing the Facilities Design Guidelines, intend to urge action that is not in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and codes, and these documents may not be construed as doing so.
