It is anticipated bidding phase will start in February 2023, with a contractor award made by May 31, 2023. A firm timeline for start of construction has not been determined. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: Plans call for the High-Density Storage (HDS) Addition will be the first step in a multi-phased project to reconstruct the Main and Undergraduate Libraries. This addition to be located on the west end of the existing 6th stack will be a large climate-controlled vault capable of storing 1.5 million volumes in an 11,000 square foot footprint. The total area of the HDS Addition with the associated mechanical room is approximately 23,000 square foot. As part of this project, a new utility tunnel will be constructed to connect the existing Main Library Power Plant to the West Sixth Street steam tunnel and the new HDS Addition. Also part of this project will be the construction of a new Lecture Hall 66, a building addition to the southwest side of the Main Library. A new mechanical room will be constructed to house the mechanical and electrical systems to serve the HDS. The mechanical room roof will be designed to support new cooling towers that will replace the current cooling towers on the roof of the stacks. This project will construct the new cooling towers and demolish those currently existing on the roof of the stack area. Interior renovation work in the existing Main Library Building as part of this project will consist of a 3,600 square foot renovation of the main north/south corridor on the first floor, a 3,300 square foot renovation of the Grand Stair located between the north/south corridor and the Marshall Gallery and a renovation of the mechanical systems serving the existing 11,600 square foot Delivery Room on the 2nd floor.
