Description of Project: University Housing plans to build a 160,000 GSF (approximate) new residence hall of 600-800 beds and integrated 300-seat dining hall, primarily for first-year students. Successful completion of this project will necessitate professional services including investigation/conceptualization, planning, design, development and administration of bid documents, construction oversight assistance, and demolition of Taft and Van Doren (TVD) Halls. Several industry standard tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), LEED, and others will be utilized on this project, see the evaluation criteria below for further information. This project references a portion of the Ikenberry Commons Strategic Plan - 2022 (ICSP) update, but it is expected that the Program will deviate from the ICSP (for example, the project will not include any work at Flagg or Noble Halls). The project will undergo a Conceptualization Phase to help determine the final Program. The project will include the demolition of Taft and Van Doren residence halls (approximately 82,912 GSF). It will not include work at Flagg or Noble Halls.
