Design and Construction Project Guidelines

The primary intent of these guidelines is to provide a clear guide to assist design consultants and construction contractors in the design and construction of projects at Dartmouth College.

About the Guidelines

The guidelines are comprised of individual PDF files, grouped by discipline according to the CSI standard. Some of the sections are relatively generic while other sections provide more detailed and specific requirements. The Introduction Letter elaborates further on the intent of the guidelines, while the Table of Contents reflects the latest revised date of each section.

Please contact the College representative with whom you are working for any specific questions that may arise. Comments regarding these guidelines are welcome, and may be submitted at Design.Guidelines.Comments@Dartmouth.edu.
