This request for qualifications is for architectural design services for the design of the $55,272,000 Workforce Innovation Center at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s (RCCC) South Campus in Kannapolis, NC. The project is envisioned to include the design and construction of one (1) new building. It is envisioned that the building will house classrooms, labs, and support spaces as well as large, flexible multi-purpose seminar rooms with supporting spaces. The building is envisioned to be a roughly 70,000 square foot, threestory building located on an undeveloped parcel across Trinity Church Rd from South Campus in Kannapolis, NC. It is conceived to be a high-efficiency, steel frame, with brick veneer to integrate into the design aesthetic of South Campus. The project includes extensions of all utilities (power, data, water, sewer), parking, and stormwater for the site and serves as the foundation for future development on the east side of Trinity Church Road. The project also includes a roughly 9,000 square foot Central Energy Plant incorporated into the 1st floor to provide space for chillers and other infrastructure to support the ultimate build-out of the area north of Trinity Church Road while acting as a teaching tool for students learning about the next generation of mechanical systems
