The new suite of UQ Design Standards supersede a set of documents previously known as “The UQ Technical Guides”. Whilst the former UQ Technical Guides provided comprehensive information for consultant and contractors for the design and specification of projects, the use of the word “guide” was determined to be ineffective and non-enforceable when disagreements arose as to determine what was seen as the acceptable minimum standards.
The purpose of the Design Standards is to define the University of Queensland’s specific requirements and to assist designers, contractors and other professionals involved in the preparation of designs commissioned by the University
The University’s capital investment in physical facilities is a long-term investment and includes the operational expense of a building throughout its life, therefore proven methods of construction, materials and system design are necessary to meet specific project requirements.
The Design Standards are one of several key controlling documents that form part of any project brief and outline the minimum baseline requirements for the University for the design and construction of its buildings and facilities. The purpose of the Design Standards is not to detract from the designers’ obligations to undertake stakeholder engagement to develop design briefs, follow good design practice, and produce designs that address project specifics.
