They are minimumstandards. Actual design should be consistent with the overall program, building quality, andscope of project.

7 The design should be in context with, and in harmony with, the existingbuildings on campus with sensitivity to the surrounding pallet of materials and accepted for installation must be current production model or running line thatwill allow for the expeditious reorder of parts or materials. Avoid the acceptance or installationof unique, special order components without local vendor representation which would make itdifficult (and in some cases impossible) to obtain replacement parts or materials. Productsoffered as a donation must abide this new buildings and major renovations planned at Georgia Tech shall have an energy analysisperformed to assure compliance with the Georgia State Code for Energy Conservation in NewBuildings and the Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction Act of the Architect and/or the Engineer desire to make any exceptions to the Design Standards,written approval from the Office of Facilities must be obtained.

8 Electronic mailcommunication to request the exceptions is time constraints, building size and complexity, and other factors may require theaddition of a Management Scheduling Consultant to the Construction Team. This consultantwill be retained by Georgia Tech Office of Facilities. In their contracts, the Architect andGeneral Contractor should include time for coordination meetings with this consultant. SeeSection 01311 for responsible for underground utility systems design shall be experienced in three-dimensional coordinated design of utility systems similar to those required by the project andshall be experienced in producing plan and profile drawings for utility AUTHORITIES AND CODE REGULATIONS of Regents of the University System of James, Vice Chancellor, Office of of Facilities Guidelines for Preplanning of Facilities Building Project Procedure Manual IT of Facilities Architectural and Engineering Design Standards Georgia Tech Yellow Book 010001 General Requirements Page 2 of 20 Revised.
