Standards & Guidelines

Standards & Guidelines provide a direction and consistency in our facilities and campus systems. Guidelines provide recommendations to guide project architects, engineers, and contractors, as well as UNM’s staff on campus projects, including capital projects, campus improvements, and any other environmental design elements, including signage/wayfinding and circulation. Standards describe the requirements that must be followed for all new construction and renovation projects. Design guidelines should be used along with the project specific program.
