Building Standards
Building Standards
The building standards are under construction and being revised periodically. Please check with your Project Manager for further information, if no detailed information exists below. The UIC CAD Standards, the UIC Sustainability Standards, and the Energy Efficiency Incentives are all a part of these Building Standards. Click on the divisions below for current standards (note: all documents are .pdf files).
PLEASE NOTE: Those standards that are not dated represent the university’s 2006 building standards, which are in the process of being updated.
