Specifications include, but are not limited to: design the relocation of the “Facilities Yard” currently located south of Grant Street between 5th Avenue and 7th Avenue. The successful firm will have experience in complex office, processing, industrial, and public works design for both new construction and renovation/addition projects. Relocation of the MSU “Facilities Yard” is necessary to proceed with implementing plans for future campus buildings along 7th Avenue. The University also seeks to simultaneously consolidate operations staff and functions spread across other areas of the campus for improved collaboration and coordination. The University Services business unit, including Facilities Services, Engineering & Utilities, Safety & Risk Management, Campus Planning, Design, & Construction, Accounting, and Human Resources, is intended to be collocated through this project. The University has identified space to the south and east of the current location for the relocation/consolidation scope. The University also seeks to modernize the Plew Building at the corner of 6th Avenue and Grant Street to accommodate improved space utilization and ADA access needs as part of this improvement project.
