Pre-Qualification: Yes The Armstrong Hall Replacement project at Minnesota State University, Mankato, will replace the existing Armstrong Hall building. Armstrong Hall has been the academic workhorse of the University since it was constructed in 1964. It currently houses 49 of the campus' 106 classrooms, as well as 11 of its 85 teaching laboratories. Nearly every student pursuing an undergraduate degree since 1964 has attended class in this building. The objective of this project is to replace the outdated and maintenance and repair plagued Armstrong Hall in the most effective, efficient, and innovative way possible. The project will replace Armstrong Hall (145,000 SF) with a new, smaller building (113,700 SF), demolish the existing building and renovate/renew approximately 61,300 SF of existing space across 3 buildings on campus (Memorial Library, Wiecking Center and Morris Hall). The combination of the new building and existing space renewal will work to increase campus-wide classroom utilization and facilitate program efficiencies. The result of the project will be a reduction in campus square footage of approximately 45,000 SF. The project is proposed to be delivered in 3 Phases as funding is secured. The project will be delivered using the CM@R contracting process. Prebid info: Shortlisted Responders will be offered a second optional informational meeting on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
