Design information
UAF Facilities CADD Standard (PDF) - The current UAF Facilities CADD Standard was adopted in June 2016. Minimum requirements for CAD, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) files submitted to UAF as part of a contract or project shall meet these standards. Both BIM and GIS portions of the standard are brief as detailed standards are still under development. The CAD portion of the standard references the National CAD Standard v6 extensively- a link is provided below for your convenience.
UAF Standard Title Block - All projects may use primary consultant's Title Block. If needed, the UAF Title Block is provided below as a pdf sample, .dwg file, with a separate attribute .dwg file for insertion as a block in each sheet file containing the title block. Insertions shall all occur at 0,0 in layout space.
22x34 Title blocks:
UAF Plot Style Settings - UAF standard plot settings use a .ctb file, or a color based plot table. The colors and their assigned weights are per the pdf file linked below and the .ctb file is provided for your use. Please note, the .ctb is provided for your convenience but you are not required to convert your files to this plotting standard.

Capital Planning
The goal of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is to ensure that the necessary facilities, equipment and infrastructure are in place for the continued growth, refinement and improvement of the university as prescribed in the UA Strategic Plan.
What is a capital project?
A capital project is a project with a total cost in excess of $100,000, excluding movable equipment, that creates an new building with a useful life in excess of one year, extends the useful life of an existing building, or corrects a significant backlog of code correction, handicapped barrier removal, or life/plant protection projects. A capital project also includes acquisitions of large equipment and construction of improvements for modernization, emerging technologies, and other improvements from the room level to building wide. Funding for these projects may be through capital appropriations (state or federal), operating budgets, gifts, grants or bond proceeds.
The capital request form is not intended for facilities modifications. Some projects are not eligible for formal capital funding mechanisms and rather rely on internal funds, grants, or gifts to complete. A facilities modification is used for space changes such as:
- change in size/shape/access (e.g. demolition of office walls to create an open office area)
- change in use (e.g. converting a classroom to an office suite)
- change in assignment
For facilities modifications, please use the form on this site.
