A/E Services for Construct Library Learning Student Success Center - Commissioning Services

Ranked as the #1 regional public university in Illinois, the University of Illinois at Springfield (UIS) occupies 740 acres with 87 facilities serving a student population of approximately 5,000 and over 950 employees. The scope of services provides for LEED Enhanced Commissioning Services (design and reviews, construction/field inspection and start-up, functional performance testing, including O & M training and warranty review) for the construction of a multi-story Library Learning and Student Success Center (LLSSC) programmed at approximately 65,000 square feet with a goal to achieve LEED Platinum certification (minimum LEED Gold). Sited on the southeast corner of the main quadrangle, the LLSSC will serve as a nucleus for advanced and innovative teaching-learning and collaboration. The LLSSC will house library services and collections, information technology services (ITS), client services, a help desk and the Center for Academic Success. The Center for Academic Success is composed of: The Learning Hub, Office of Advising Services, Information and Support, Experiential and Service-Learning Program, Testing Services, the Tutoring Center, Writing Lab, Math Lab, the Career Development Center and Testing Center. The multiple experiential teaching-learning labs will include a Communications Lab, Maker Space, an "Imaginaseum", technology rich multi-use classrooms, a flexible multi-use technology rich 200-seat classroom / conference space and supporting office space for faculty and staff. The LLSSC will have stand-alone heating and cooling and a backup power source to support 365 day/year operations. The heating/cooling system for the LLSSC will also need to support the adjacent Student Union building. Once established, the Student Union building will be disconnected from the campus chilled water plant. Adjacent parking and access to the LLSSC's loading dock is required on the east side of the site. Richard Wright Drive, William Maxwell Lane and the adjacent multi-modal and pedestrian pathways, will be modified to connect with exiting transportation infrastructure. The scope of work will include some interior design and furniture selection for space planning purposes. The CxA must have documented commissioning process experience on at least two building projects with a similar scope of work. The experience must extend from early design phase through at least 10 months of occupancy. The interviews for this project are tentatively scheduled for January 29, 2021. The selection for this project is scheduled to be presented to the CDB Board for approval on February 9, 2021.
