University of Cincinnati
Interior Design Standard 2013
MSB
Medical Sciences Building (MSB)
The Medical Sciences
Building Interior Guidelines are determined by
a Design Review
Committee made up of a
contingent of industry
professionals, independent of the University of
Cincinnati. UC Planning
+ Design + Construction,
with recommendations
from the DRC committee
have set-forth the
attached guide to ensure
the facility of the MSB is
maintained to a design
standard possible for an
aged research building.
The connection to the
award winning CARE/
Crawley building is
apparent and should be
recognized when
furnishings, equipment,
wall coverings and
carpeting are requested.
This document identifies
the agreed upon specifications for the Medical
Sciences Building,
offices, conference rooms
and public hallways.
