Communications Project Planning Guidelines

The UCSB Communications Project Planning Guidelines may be used by campus planners, architects, and consultants when preparing design proposals and cost estimates for communications facilities in new and renovated buildings. The Design and Construction Division of the Facilities Management Department bears the primary responsibility for campus construction and renovation projects, and coordinates development of the specific design and details of any project.

The guidelines are summaries of existing campus Standards Documents. The full documents, and the computer-aided drawings associated with them, may be obtained by contacting david.chapman@commserv.ucsb.edu.
