University New Facility for the College of Architecture and Environmental Design - A/E
- This RFQ had a pre-bid event.
The College of Architecture and Environmental Design is one of the University's signature programs. Currently, the program is fractionalized with classroom, studios and faculty offices scattered across the campus in three separate structures that do not reflect the caliber of the program. Taylor Hall, located in the heart of campus is the base of operations and the location within the May Fourth Historic District makes it impossible to modify the existing building in a constructive way. Therefore, the university has set the construction of a new building for the program as a facility
improvement priority. The proposed building is programmed at approximately 120,000 s.f. and will include studios, classrooms, administrative offices and various shop and research spaces. A site has been selected and will be announced during phase II of the selection process. The connection of the building to its surrounding site will be an important part of the design and the project will include all sidewalks, parking lots, landscaping and utility extensions to the site and building.
