Notice of Requested Architectural Services
Notice is hereby given of the commencement of the selection process for architectural services for the Justin Hall renovation at Kansas State University. Justin Hall houses the College of Health and Human Sciences, which plans to create improved, applied learning spaces for Kinesiology, Nutrition, Aging, and Child Development. The vision for the college’s future includes a laboratory to support health and wellness initiatives – such as yoga, UFM classes, pilates, and after-hours events – and to serve as a community outreach center. The scope of this renovation is to provide updated applied learning lab(s) to support these programs as well as to refresh and to renovate non-compliant ADA accessible restrooms, aged stairwells with non-code compliant features and accessibility concerns, and to begin an initial phase of improvements to replace the building’s outdated and original HVAC system (in the zone areas associated with the applied learning improvements).
Design of roof replacement (in one or multiple phases) may be part of this scope pending alignment with the budget. In addition to the support of existing infrastructure and non-code compliant features and accessibility concerns, converting underutilized spaces into a flexible applied learning area will address multiple needs, enhance student, faculty, and staff success, and create an interdisciplinary resource for the college and university. The project construction budget is $7,000,000.
