Construction Design Standards

The University of Toledo is currently merging the construction design standards for the Main and Health Science Campuses.  Since we are still in the midst of this process, we have listed each of the campus standards individually.  The newly merged construction design standards are listed under "MAIN CAMPUS (MC) AND HEALTH SCIENCE CAMPUS (HSC) - Construction Design Standards" following the individual campus listings.  These documents will be revised in the near future, so please check back for changes.  (The dates following each document show when the most recent revision was made.)
