美姬社区 has in place a comprehensive set of Design and Construction Standards to serve as a guideline for ensuring each project meets the district鈥檚 standards for new construction as well as renovation and modernization projects.
The minimum criteria for establishment of these standards are:
- Quality
- Maintenance
- Cost
- Location
- Energy Efficiency
- Life Cycle Costs
- Safety
The district鈥檚 Facilities Master Plan addresses overall design intent for the 美姬社区 campuses. It is recommended that this plan is referenced for design implementation criteria. These documents include:
- 美姬社区 Facilities Master Plan (FMP)
- Sustainability Goals & Guidelines
- Technology Guidelines
- Utilities and Infrastructure Drawings
- Space & Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) Standards
The project team for the development of theses standards included representatives from the colleges and the district, along with 美姬社区鈥檚 construction management consultant, and architects and consulting engineers retained by 美姬社区 to assist with this effort.
It is the district intention that the standards will be applied to all new projects as all as all modernization and renovation projects.
