The DSS is a guideline. It contains information on the procedures, materials and design parameters that the University
of Arizona feels are appropriate to ensure a high degree of
sustainability,
quality and long term serviceability of our facility related projects. These standards are intended to assist design
professionals, contractors and University personnel in understanding the needs and desires of the University of Arizona
and are not intended to be used as a replacement for specifications. The use of these standards in the creation of contract
documents does not relieve any design professional of any responsibility or liability for the execution of their contracted
professional services or those services that may be subcontracted. Any contemplated deviation from these standards shall be
brought to the immediate attention of the assigned project manager. The University will otherwise assume that they have been
followed in their entirety.
The DSS is maintained by
Planning Design & Construction.
