As of November 20, 2023, construction has been completed. Construction began May, 2021, however, an exact timeline for construction has not been confirmed. The University of Washington (University or UW), representing the University of Washington-Bothell and Cascadia College (CC) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified design-build firms (which may include joint ventures) to design and construct the UW Bothell/Cascadia College Phase 4 STEM Building. The Owners intent is to utilize a phased approach to select the design-build team. The Owner will select the builder only with this RFQ and RFP process, and then work collaboratively with the selected builder to then select the design architect and, subsequently, all other team members. For purposes of this and subsequent selection and contract documents, the builder is referred to as the Design-Builder. The process for selecting the design architect is described in Attachment 5, Design Architect Selection Process. University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia College have each been planning new Academic STEM Facilities since 2014. Combining these proposals provides the opportunity for Cascadia College and UW Bothell to leverage what could have been two smaller state-funded STEM buildings into a single shared building with the ability to support the objectives of both institutions efficiently. The project will save state resources and emphasize the benefits of the institutions co-located relationship. As planned, the project will consist of a new, approximately 100,000 gross square feet STEM academic facility providing classrooms, class labs, collaborative faculty offices and student collaboration space in order to accommodate 1100 new FTE students in the fast-growing STEM curriculum.
