Material types and colors for new facilities, renovations, and additions should coordinate or match those on adjacent facilities or on the existing facility being worked on.  Deviations need to be approved by DPW at the 35% design phase.

Where possible, material selection should be guided by the LEED™ rating system and by the requirements necessary to attain the relevant LEED™ credits.  See Appendix D and Appendix E.
