Notice of Requested Architectural Services
Notice is hereby given of the commencement of the selection process for architectural services for the programming phase of the remodel of Morse Central Hall at Emporia State University. Emporia State University (ESU) is seeking architectural services for the programming phase of a planned move of its nursing program into a building to be remodeled. ESU plans to relocate the Department of Nursing from a leased off-campus facility (Cora Miller Hall) into a portion of an existing building on-campus (Morse Central). Aside from the fiscal optimization, this relocation will reconnect nursing students’ and faculty’s experiences to the main campus, an opportunity not leveraged due to their current off-campus location. This move allows campus consolidation of space and programming, creates state-of-the-art learning spaces for our students, and will enable a more focused and deliberate investment in interdisciplinary program technologies, such as healthcare cybersecurity, forensic science, and pre-med programs. The priority for this space is to build capacity and enhance our Department of Nursing program(s). The use of the remaining space will be determined as the space optimization review of campus continues. A successful programming phase may lead to the firm being retained for design and construction phase services. The construction budget is $5,695,000.
