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

Renovations for Nursing- Phase 2 Simulation Labs Submit all questions regarding this RFQ to Megan Dawson at mdawso13@kent.edu with the project number included in the subject line (no phone calls please). Questions will be answered and posted via online Built in 1978, Henderson Hall is home to Kent State University's College of Nursing program. The existing 3 story 51,000 sf facility is comprised of classrooms, teaching labs, simulation labs, a tiered lecture hall and faculty and administrative office spaces. In recent years, the College has undertaken a facility masterplan in conjunction with the Office of the University Architect to analyze the utilization of academic spaces, including simulation labs, facility limitation impacts on future enrollment, and building support systems. The resulting masterplan is comprised of multiple phases allowing for the continued occupancy of the building and flexible solutions while supporting this signature academic program. Phase 1 was completed in 2024 and included a renovation to first floor underutilized classroom space to accommodate a new, more prominent Academic Advising Suite supporting students, faculty, and staff. This renovation was an enabling project, freeing up space on the second floor to accommodate Phase 2 of the Masterplan. The current Phase 2 project seeks to renovate 7,500 SF on the 2nd floor of Henderson Hall, providing 8-10 state-of-the-art, individual simulation laboratory spaces for graduate and undergraduate nursing students, dedicated debriefing space, flexible lab space and storage. The construction will need to be phased to allow the current simulation labs to remain usable until the new Simulation Labs are complete. Upon completion, the existing sim lab spaces will be renovated to build out the remainder of the program requirements. Simulation labs are essential to support KSU's competency-based curriculum and to meet the pedagogical demands of the college and nursing field. This project is a university academic priority with potential for enrollment growth and corporate partnerships within Northeast Ohio's world-renowned healthcare industry. Total Project Cost: $6,000,000.00 The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
