Specifications include, but are not limited to: The consultant will be responsible for the complete development of the capital improvement programming Part I and Part II for Wor-Wic Community College’s Student Success and Wellness Center. The College expects to start the planning (or design) phase of the facility in July 2028. Therefore, the programming must be submitted to all approving Maryland state agencies no later than March 1, 2025. The Student Success and Wellness Center will be located on the northeast side of the campus and will encompass approximately 80,000 gross square feet (GSF). Spaces will include a basketball/volleyball court, exercise rooms, food concessions, locker rooms, student study spaces, student organizational spaces, and office spaces for student services employees. Athletic as well as health and wellness staff will also be housed in this facility. In addition to the competitive athletics program and recreational facilities, the building will also include a stage for performing arts with 300 seats. This space will include two green rooms, lighting, and sound booths for performances. Student Life and Student Government offices will also be located in this space. Small spaces for students to gather and conference rooms for meetings will also be located in this building. Programming for improvements to a roadway adjacent to the building site shall be included. The existing road will be too narrow to handle the expected vehicular traffic once the facility has been completed. Other exterior improvements will include a multipurpose field for soccer, track, field hockey, and intramural activities. The proposed site for the facility is attached (refer to SSWC Site Map 01 and SSWC Site Map 02). The consultant will act on behalf of the College (or “agency”) regarding all efforts concerning the programming as well as responding to all future questions from Maryland state agencies. These programming documents shall comply with the State of Maryland’s Facilities Program Manual as adopted by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of General Services (DGS) in July 2017 or its most recent version (refer to Attachment A Facility Program Manual).
