As of June 6, 2023, an architect has been awarded and this project is in the design phase. A contractor bidding timeline has not yet been disclosed. A construction timeline has not yet been confirmed, but is anticipated to begin late 2023, early 2025. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: This project scope of work includes the design of infrastructure upgrades to the Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library (Wilson Library). Wilson Library is a 317,529 GSF building originally constructed in 1929, with subsequent additions constructed in 1953 and 1977. The infrastructure upgrades are to involve code compliant vertical circulation, accessibility modifications and the installation of new mechanical and fire protection systems within 1953 and 1977 portions of the facility. There will be an initial Advanced Planning design phase in compliance with the State of North Carolina Performance Standards for Sustainable, Energy Efficient Buildings. In addition, the Advanced Planning design phase will examine long term conceptual planning for the Library at a high level to ensure that appropriate strategies are being pursued as part of the infrastructure upgrades project. The goal being to not hinder future programming or potential re-configurations. The University will then contract with the design firm for the defined scope of work to provide: Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documentation, including Life-cycle Cost Analysis at each design phase; Construction Cost Estimation; Phasing Plans (as may be necessary); and Construction Administration services. Design Services shall include: Architecture, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Abatement Design. Library planning experience via the team lead or direct consultant is also preferred. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
