Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is expected to start in September 2025. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: This project will complete preplanning, programming, design, and capital renewal of the Collins Classroom Center (52,334 ASF/89,284 GSF) to transform it from a 1960’s brutalist classroom building to a modern and inviting learning center that offers a flexible building layout and promotes programmatic collaboration. This project will replace the existing, original HVAC system to provide improved air quality and reduce maintenance costs. The existing 4-stop hydraulic passenger elevator will be replaced to address the deteriorating infrastructure and dated technology. This renovation will also address the lack of a fire suppression system and limited ADA accessibility to the building. Departments currently occupying the Collins Classroom Center (CCC) will be strategically relocated across campus, enhancing program alignments. After the renovations are completed, the CCC will become home to the School of Business and Economics, which has reached capacity in its current space in the College of Professional Studies (CPS) building (61,422 ASF/103,533 GSF).
