Lorberbaum Hall, approximately 41,000 gross square feet (GSF) is 25 years old. It is an Academic Instructional and office building that primarily supports the School of Liberal Arts. The building has significant deficiencies in design, function, and performance. The existing size and configuration of the classrooms do not effectively support contemporary instructional modes and practices, and there is essentially no open program space. The proposed project would provide a comprehensive interior renovation (lighting, instructional technology, finishes, fixtures, furniture, and rest rooms) along with targeted space reconfiguration. The renovated interior spaces will provide an environment that will support student, faculty, and instructional activities more appropriately and effectively. Selective reconfiguration will allow greater flexibility for larger course sizes and active learning modes, as well as create modest open common area for student study and engagement. New instructional technology will improve the classroom experience and support improved faculty and student performance. The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) or construction cost of the Project is estimated at $3,000,000. The final SCL may be revised by the Owner due to final programmatic requirements, funding availability or other circumstances. The Design Professional Base Fee will be approximately $240,000, which includes Basic Design and Construction Administration services. Anticipated Design Professional service requirements include the services as listed in Item 3 below "Scope of Services".
