Design and construction standards
The Design and Construction Standards are a compilation of standards developed by the University of Nevada, Reno Facilities Services Department and State of Nevada State Public Works Division. These standards are reviewed and updated annually or as needed and posted here, with the most recent updates made in July 2021. Design and Construction Standards are available in Microsoft Word format via a download.
Request referenced drawings
Facilities Services also maintains a list of referenced drawings for a variety of projects (e.g., handrails, signage, ramps, electrical installation and more). You may request referenced drawings by completing a Facilities Services form.
