The University of Minnesota is seeking an architecture and engineering team to design a new 500-bed residence hall and dining facility on its St. Paul campus.
- **Government buyer:** University of Minnesota; Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota; Capital Project Management (CPM). University Purchasing is also referenced.
- **Project:** Replace the Bailey Hall, Dining Center, and Student Center complex with student housing, dining, administrative and support spaces, campus connections, and outdoor areas. The preliminary construction budget is **$100 million**; final scope, building area, budget, housing configuration, and future expansion needs will be developed during predesign.
- **Required services:** Programming and predesign; schematic design; design development; construction documents; procurement and construction administration; FF&E design; net-zero analysis; and telecommunications/data infrastructure design. No quantities or part numbers apply to these professional services.
- **Important requirements:** Design for approximately 500 beds and possible phased future housing expansion; comply with Minnesota B3 Guidelines and the SB2030 Energy Standard; perform energy modeling at each design phase; and include a net-zero operational carbon analysis in the Predesign Report. Provide predesign cost estimating and support the Construction Manager as Constructor’s estimating process in later phases.
- **Coordination and scope limits:** Coordinate FF&E recommendations, specifications, procurement, installation, and punch activities with the University’s interior designer. The University will manage demolition and site clearing under a separate contract, and will provide commissioning services and the site survey. A/V design is excluded; the need for a public-safety distributed antenna system and zoned paging system will be determined during predesign.
- **OEMs and named commercial vendors:** No product manufacturers or commercial vendors are identified. No products are being purchased.
- **Commercial context:** The design team is to be engaged on a single lump-sum basis. The $100 million figure is the preliminary construction budget, not a stated design-services contract value.

### Description

The University of Minnesota is requesting proposals for professional architectural and engineering design services for a new 500-bed residence and dining hall on its St. Paul campus. Services include predesign, schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration, and supplemental services such as FF&E design and net zero analysis. The design must allow for phased future housing expansion and follow Minnesota B3 Guidelines and the SB2030 Energy Standard. The project has a preliminary construction budget of $100,000,000, with substantial completion anticipated in April 2030.
