Renovation of an educational facility in Riverside, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The University's primary objective in utilizing the Brief design build approach is to bring the best available integrated design and construction experience to this project. The University has determined that proposers who submit proposals on this project must be prequalified. Prequalified proposers will be required to have the following California contractor's license: General Building Contractor "B" license. DESCRIPTION: The Biocontrol building consists of an 800-sf support area that houses multiple growth chambers, sink with casework, and washer/dryer. There is also a 240-sf cold room with a depressed slab and 2 entrances (1 from the exterior and 1 through the Biocontrol support area). Building construction consists of reinforced concrete slab with 8" concrete curb surround, 6" concrete equipment pads, structural steel frame, metal panel siding with insulation, standing seam metal roof, and all relevant MEP to support the walk-in cold room, growth chambers, Fire/Life Safety, and network communication/integration with the campus. The Genomics Shed's size and construction are similar to the Biocontrol room but does not require infrastructure to support a walk-in cold room or growth chambers. Genomics Shed consists of numerous storage areas ranging from 100-sf to120-sf that are separated by chain-linked fence while maintaining a clear access/egress pathway.
