FDG Documents | General Design Guidelines
The Stanford General Design documents of the Facilities Design Guide (FDG) lists separate stand-alone Stanford documents related to facilities planning, design, and regulatory compliance. These documents are not included in the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) numbered sections of the FDG. These documents are typically general policy and design approach guidelines intended to convey Stanford's expectations in the design of projects. Designs are expected to adhere to these guideline documents unless deviations are requested and approved by the Responsible Organization. They are for use by contractors and consultants in the creation of project specifications and drawings that will meet the needs of Stanford. These documents are maintained by the listed Responsible Organizations.
Comments or questions regarding these documents should be forwarded to the applicable Responsible Organization. Responsible Organizations typically forward updates of these documents to the FDG Committee for courtesy review and listing in the Stanford General Design Section of the FDG.
