This project is critical to accelerating the continued growth of the Cincinnati Innovation District (CID). To submit your qualifications and any other issues or concerns regarding the bidding process please contact Mike Myres at Michael.myres@uc.edu The project involves the renovation and redevelopment of 121 East McMillan. This project is critical to accelerating the continued growth of the Cincinnati Innovation District (CID). The space provided by this project will enable the University to meet the high demand from corporations desiring to partner with the University and access talent and innovation connections in the CID. The building at 121 East McMillan Street was originally built as a diocese church, later converted to a school, sold the county and converted to office space, and last renovated to a dental practice in the 1970's until it closed operations in 2019. The university conducted a renovation study to look at its adaptability as flexible office and program space complete with new office spaces, renovated restrooms, and public spaces along with bringing up all associated aspects of the building up to current code. This new space will complement the 1819 Innovation Hub functions and provide more available space for use by partner tenants. The overall desire is to leverage the original building character to create a work environment for leasable tenant spaces to be able to collaborate in very much in the aesthetic style and function of the 1819 facility. As the facility will be a leased space, we envision a separate core and shell versus tenant improvement scope of work will be developed for this project. Experience working in commercial real estate format to organize the design and manage associated details will add value. Related, the university has identified a key partner for this space and they may participate in the selection of this A/E team and also may wish to add a consulting interior designer to the TI package for spaces they intend to rent and would have to partner with the team built herein.
