Foreword

Advice to Architects and Engineers

Your team has been chosen as the architectural/engineering team most uniquely qualified to design
the project, based upon your ability to effectively communicate and demonstrate to the selection
committee your team’s design expertise, your understanding of the project, and your commitment to
service. In order for your team to successfully exercise the highest degree of design potential afforded
by the project, we offer you a few words of advice in the attainment of that goal.

1. Ask Questions

Although your team was chosen as best suited to the project, this may be the first project of
this particular building type you have undertaken at ASU. ASU's design philosophy does
not allow a “cookie cutter” approach to design, hence, there will be many unknowns to your
team on this Campus. Time spent in researching the goals ASU had in mind when preparing
the RFQ, familiarity with campus infrastructures, how and why design was handled in a
particular way on a similar project, and familiarity with the university and user group
structure prior to the beginning of architectural programming, will be invaluable to your
design team. The Project Manager/Project Architect assigned the responsibility to lead this
project on behalf of ASU is your single best resource for the project. All questions and
communications regarding the project, the user group or the university must be routed
through these individuals. This is the established project protocol, and will be further
detailed to you by those individuals. It is their responsibility to answer, or direct you to
those that can answer specific questions regarding any topic connected with the project in a
timely and professional manner.

2. Time is Money

A common comment we hear from design professionals is that the project budgets, schedules
and professional fee structure precludes firms from devoting the proper amount of time
toward design excellence. ASU realizes that design is a time-driven undertaking, and we
believe this comment can be directly attributed to poor project communications, which
wastes time, money and opportunity. The project budget, schedule and your compensation
will allow for both a successful design and a successful business partnership provided the
following items are observed:

· Strictly observe procedures for approvals. Under no circumstance should verbal
approval be accepted or given. Any inquiry or direction that potentially affects
project scope, budget, schedule or your compensation should be made in writing
and responded to in kind.

· Assume nothing. Assumptions made by your team without written clarification in
the form of letters, meeting minutes, sketches or written telephone conference logs
will promote misdirection, miscommunications, design errors and subsequently
lost time. It is your responsibility to ask for and receive clarification. The worst
possible assumption your team can make is assuming that a user will instantly or
instinctively understand graphic or technical aspects of design without a thorough
7
ASU Design Guidelines Section I

and concise explanation. Photographs and quick three-dimensional color sketches
are invaluable tools to achieve this understanding.

· Breech of the project protocol is the best way for your team to lose time and
money. Direction, approvals, clarification, etc., that do not originate or go
through the assigned Project Manager/Project Architect, no matter what the level
or area, are not acceptable and non-binding.

3. Contingencies

Many architects are under the impression that project contingencies (design, construction and
inflation) are for the use of design “extras.” This is an erroneous and dangerous impression.
ASU is mandated by the Arizona Board of Regents to carry contingencies based on level of
functional and construction difficulty and total project duration. Contingencies shall only be
utilized to attain the projects critical functional and quality parameters, or “base” scope, as
defined by the architectural program and subsequent schematic design.

4. Expectations

The design team is required to be within the particular design phase budget, and if the project
estimate at the completion of a particular phase indicates the design is over budget, the team
will not gain the approval necessary to enter into the next phase. The team will then be
required to expend the necessary time and effort to be within that budget, at the design
team’s expense.

It is easy to recognize that the further over budget the design is, the more time and effort will
be required to bring the project within the budget. This is time that will not be compensated.
It is therefore in the best interest of the design team to obtain the highest degree of detail
appropriate to all phases of design, to recognize all cost ramifications to a particular design
intent, and avoid promotion and pursuit of design elements that can neither be justified by
the program nor afforded by the particular phase budget.

It is the university's expectation that by following the guidelines, procedures and advice as presented
in this manual, the design team will produce a facility that not only meets program, budget and
schedule, but also achieves a quality of design excellence.

Introduction

The Purpose of This Manual

These Design Guidelines cover ASU construction projects managed by the Capital Programs
Management Group. Therefore, the consultants are advised to refer to those sections of the manual
that relate to their projects and to adhere to its guidelines.

Variances to the Guidelines

The Design Guidelines are a set of minimum requirements for design and construction at ASU.
Contractors and consultants must adhere to the Guidelines in all cases, unless a written variance is
obtained from ASU. Variances to the Guidelines must be submitted to an ASU project manager, in
writing. Project managers must then obtain written approval for the variance from Capital Programs
Management Group management, and with recommendation from ASU Shops, if necessary.
Variances from the Guidelines are not valid unless written approval from CPMG management is
received.

Updates

This manual will be updated as requirements and procedures of ASU and the Arizona Board of
Regents (ABOR) change.

ASU Office of the University Architect

The ASU Office of the University Architect (OUA) works with the ASU administration, User Group,
Project Manager, Design Professional, and Construction Manager from project initiation through
project programming. OUA reviews the DP's work for compliance with: planning, programming,
exterior and scope requirements for the project; and for conformance to required codes and ASU
master plans and procedures.

Responsibilities of OUA include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Strategic direction for University Architecture and Design

2. Architectural oversight during project development

3. Public Arts and Design Review Council

4. CADD Services

5. Classroom Furniture and Services

6. Space data management, reporting and planning

7. Programming, planning and design services to ASU units and ASU administration

8. Land use, development and campus master plans

9. Development of the capital program.
