Renovation of an educational facility in Kent, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The Eastway Residence Hall Complex consists of (4) Residence Halls with a central Dining/Student Life Building. This project is limited to the (4) Residence Halls -Allyn, Clark, Manchester and Fletcher. These buildings were originally constructed in the late 1950s. In 2006, the antiquated toilet exhaust system was replaced with new exhaust fans. From 2013 through 2015, the student rooms upgraded the original convectors to a four-pipe fan coil system to provide air conditioning. Ventilation was provided via operable windows. These buildings have an extremely negative pressurization which has led to high humidity levels. Kent State received a ventilation study from Scheeser Buckley Mayfield, Inc. in December 2022. That report will be provided to the shortlisted DB teams. This project will provide new rooftop units to supply make-up air that addresses ventilation and dehumidification needs. Air will be distributed to the corridors. Structural modifications are anticipated at the roof line along with new shafts and soffits Submit all questions regarding this RFQ in writing to Michael Wasowski at mwasowsk@kent.edu with the project number included in the subject line Questions will be answered and posted to the Kent State University Office of the University Architect webpage at online Total Project Cost $5 million Construction Stage Notice to Proceed 11 / 24 Substantial Completion of all Work 08 / 25 DB Services Completed 12 / 25 The Contracting Authority reserves the right to reject all proposals and cancel at any time for any reason this solicitation, any portion of this solicitation or any phase of the Project.
