Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Raleigh, North Carolina. Completed plans call for the construction of a 800,000-square-foot, 3,000-bed educational facility; for site work for a educational facility; and 100,000-square-foot, 1,500-seat educational facility.

Building Envelope Commissioning services are required for Cates West Development. This project will provide new student housing and dining facilities in multiple phases to address increased demand driven by enrollment growth and the freshman live-on-campus requirement. The project will construct about 3000 traditional and semi-suite style student beds and a new 1500-seat dining facility on Central Campus and will have a focus on sustainability. ~800,000 GSF of housing ~100,000 GSF of dining ~25,000 GSF of student life space Three existing student housing buildings, a dining facility, and a small service building at the end of their useful lives will be demolished as part of this multi-phase project. To meet financial goals the bed count must increase with each phase of development. A new dining facility will increase the seat count for all-you-care-to-eat dining, including a cafe + market, and student center activity-oriented space. The project includes a new regional utility plant, underground utility distribution, and considers rerouting a campus street. Phases anticipated: Phase 1 - construct approximately 1,500 beds Phase 2 - demolish one residence hall, West Dunn Building, and construct approximately 750 beds and the dining hall/student center space Phase 3 - demolish remaining buildings, construct approximately 750 beds Each phase of the project will target LEED Silver or better. Detailed Sustainability goals are being developed and will be provided to the selected design team during the Master Planning/Advance Planning phases The project site is located in the Central Campus precinct. The site is approximately 30 acres and is bounded by Thurman Drive and the North Carolina Railroad to the North; the Western edge of Lee Field to the West; Rocky Branch Creek to the South; and Dan Allen Drive to the East. Existing buildings on the site that are planned to be demolished as part of the project include Lee Residence Hall, Sullivan Residence Hall, Bragaw Residence Hall, West Dunn Building, and Fountain Dining Hall.
