Owner's Design Guidelines

Master Construction Specifications, Design Guideline Elements and other supplemental resources such as Interior Finishes Standards, Installation Details and HVAC Control Contract Document Requirements, are all combined under the heading of the Owner's Design Guidelines. They are to be used in the development of contract documents for all MD Anderson Cancer Center design and construction projects.

Note: The Owner's Design Guidelines are best viewed with Google Chrome  or Microsoft Edge

These guidelines have been developed as a collaborative cross-divisional effort through coordination with various MD Anderson personnel and outside consultants to identify preferred methods and materials of construction. The documents are continually evaluated and modified as required to insure they evolve to be an indispensable set of tools that will help us all provide this Institution with the quality facilities that are desired, required and deserved. 

All facilities staff, consultants and contractors are encouraged to participate in the ongoing development of these guidelines by communicating any concerns, suggestions or questions. 

If you are a consultant, contractor or vendor email Richard Fitzgerald: rwfitzge@mdanderson.org with your suggestion and include ODG Element or Master Specification section including specific section/paragraph reference. Your request will be reviewed and routed to the appropriate Facilities Management subject matter expert for further review and response.
