The University of Minnesota is seeking an architecture and engineering team to design a new 500-bed residence and dining hall for its St. Paul campus.
- **Buyer:** Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota; project coordination through Capital Project Management (CPM).
- **Project:** Replace the Bailey Hall, Dining Center, and Student Center complex with student housing, dining, administrative and facilities support spaces, and campus amenities. The facility must support phased future expansion and connect safely with the surrounding campus.
- **Services requested:** Predesign and programming; schematic design; design development; construction documents; procurement and construction administration; furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) design; cost modeling; and sustainability and net-zero analysis.
- **Key requirements:** Plan for 500 beds, including accessible rooms, community-advisor rooms, and a residence-director apartment. Provide energy modeling at each design phase and address Minnesota B3 Guidelines and SB2030 requirements, with net-zero operational-carbon analysis in the Predesign Report.
- **Budget and delivery:** The preliminary construction budget is $100 million. The design team must maintain live cost modeling, provide a probable construction-cost estimate, and support Guaranteed Maximum Price development. The team must coordinate with University-managed demolition and site work and plan for an early site-preparation and foundation bid package.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No product manufacturers, OEMs, or design firms are named. CPM is identified as the University’s project-management function; the solicitation does not identify it as a vendor.
- **Notable project goals:** Durable institutional-quality design intended for a 50-plus-year lifespan, campus safety and security, sustainable dining, and FF&E recommendations consistent with University purchasing policies.
