Construction Standards

The Standards and Procedures for Construction have been written to assist architects, engineers, other design professionals, contractors and U of M staff in understanding the preferences of the University of Minnesota in the development, maintenance and repair of its facilities, and to explain the procedures, policies, and basic minimum requirements for materials and products included in construction projects. These Standards and Procedures are included, by reference, in every agreement between the A/E and the University of Minnesota, for professional services.

It is understood that the basic minimum requirements described within these standards are in addition to the applicable codes and requirements. We have not attempted to repeat the code requirements throughout the Divisions. Where there is no specific recommendation or requirement, the A/E shall exercise their professional judgement. Documents which do not adhere to the University of Minnesota Standards and Procedures for Construction will be rejected and returned to the A/E for appropriate revisions.

These construction standards are updated on a bi-annual basis. We have provided the 2002 edition, however the 2000 edition will be provided upon your request by sending us an Email Link E-mail.
