The Northwest Ohio Behavioral Health (NOBH) facility has (4) four existing patient units in the newer Annex Building, and (1) one patient unit in the older Main Building. Due to existing conditions on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Main Building, the decision has been made to expand the facility to include a secure environment for a new (26) twenty-six-bed Patient Unit, a new Gymnasium that provides indoor and outdoor recreation, a new Dietary Kitchen, and a new Police Station, nearer the Annex building. o This new Addition will be a part of a new future Full Building replacement, and will be designed and built as funding becomes available. As a result, the selected design team will need to provide the design of the Addition to integrate with the future full building design. The AE will provide a full building Concept design, to a Schematic Design level, and a complete design of the Addition only, through Construction Documentation and Construction Administration. The first phase of the project will involve the design and construction of a new 40 ft x 60 ft Maintenance Building; upon completion, this space will intermediately serve as a workspace during the construction of the Addition. Professional services are requested for programming and related consulting services for this new facility. The construction will consist of building materials and fixtures suitable for use by the intended occupant. A preliminary Owners Project Requirements will be developed and will be available to the selected professional design firm.
