Campus Design Guidelines and Preferences
The intention of the Tennessee Tech Construction Guidelines is to provide a framework for designers, thereby establishing consistency across projects. The guidelines provide answers to common questions and campus goals for shaping the design response to any unanswered questions. These standards are not intended to be used as specifications nor are they intended to limit discussion on any given topic. They are intended as a reference for Designers as they work through project design. New technologies, materials, and techniques are encouraged to be examined and discussed with Tennessee Tech representatives on all projects within their individual context. We will be adding new divisions as they are completed.

Tennessee High Performance Building Requirements Manual
The High Performance Building Requirements (HPBr) are located under the Capital and Real Estate tab on the Office of the State Architect website:
- Team Evaluations
OSA Team Evaluations
Interim and final evaluations of both the Designer and the SPA will be coordinated through the Office of the State Architect Team Evaluation process. Smaller projects will only require a final evaluation at the completion of the design phase, but standard projects will require an interim Designer/SPA evaluation after the Design Development Phase. Please review the process and access documents for evaluations from the OSA website.
