Notice of Requested Architectural Services

Notice is hereby given of the commencement of the selection process for architectural, mechanical-electrical-plumbing engineering, and engineering services for Kansas State University Willard Hall Project. The project construction budget is $3,200,000.

In order to further support current Kansas Board of Regents initiatives of improved space utilization and consolidation, Kansas State University is proposing the relocation of the department of Geology to existing space on the main campus to allow for the renovation and re-purposing of Thompson Hall.

The north end of the lower level of Willard Hall will be renovated to accommodate geology programs, including building system improvements. The first and second floor of Chem/Biochem and spaces within King Hall have space available for the relocation of the geology programs. The scope includes renovation of these spaces including building system improvements.
