Student Wellness Center
Florida State University, FS-261
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of approximately 120,000 gsf of new construction, containing primarily student health spaces, classrooms and offices. Such spaces may include: exam and treatment rooms, clinic support spaces, dental exam rooms, eye exam rooms, central supply, sterilization rooms, laundry, fitness and therapy spaces, lockers, showers, offices, conference rooms, large and small classrooms, reception areas and waiting spaces. The site is the wedge-shaped lot bounded on the northwest by Learning Way, on the south by Traditions Way, and on the east by the Woodward St. pedestrian mall.
The selected firm may be asked to masterplan the entire site for any future buildings or additions which can be built on the site. It is expected that the two buildings on the easternmost portion of the site will be demolished and that area converted into a park setting, thereby preserving the existing mature trees. It is expected that this new facility will be located on the western portion of the site, which will require demolition of the two remaining buildings on site. FSU will retain the option of reusing the selected firm to design any addition or adjacent buildings that are an expansion of the programs housed within the new Student Wellness Center.
The selected architectural firm will be required to provide design, construction documents and construction administration for the referenced project, which is currently budgeted at $39,000,000 for construction. The project delivery system will most likely be by construction management. Blanket professional liability insurance for this project in the amount of $2,000,000 must be provided as a part of Basic Services.
PROJECT BUDGET
The project budget is $47,500,000 of which the construction budget is approximately $39,000,000.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Firms will be evaluated in the following areas: current workload, location, past performance, volume of Florida State University work, and experience and ability.
