These Standards apply to all new construction or renovation projects. They must be followed by all Professionals (Architects, Engineers, lighting consultant, acoustical consultant, etc.) for the preparation of their documents. McGill’s Standards are intended as a general rule for most circumstances and to provide direction to the Design Professionals. The purpose of these Standards is to assure maximum quality and value in construction projects at McGill University, through uniformity, system or component quality, compatibility, functionality, and ease of maintenance. In addition, all construction projects on campus, regardless of scope or scale, will be executed following the sustainable principles of the LEED standard.
