The successful firm will have experience in planning, programming, and designing highereducation, undergraduate, and graduate student housing facilities. Refer to Attachment 1 for additional information. MSU has consistently had strong enrollment growth over the past ten years, which has resulted in increased occupancy across the campus's housing system. During the past 10 years, occupancy has averaged above 95%. Such high occupancy rates have left MSU minimal flexibility to accommodate increases in demand from first year students, returning and transfer students, graduate students, or necessary maintenance and renovations of existing facilities. Additional housing is needed to accommodate current demand, allow for future growth, and provide supplemental capacity to allow for renovating older residential facilities. MSU will be delegated management of the project contracts upon selection of a design firm.
