St. Paul Campus Center (SPCC)

The University of Minnesota is seeking design services for the St. Paul Campus Center, a new building that will support the needs of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The project includes the demolition of the existing Magrath Library and the construction of a new campus center with approximately 94,792 square feet of space. The selected design team will be responsible for providing all services and deliverables necessary to complete the project, including predesign, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration. The project will be delivered via a Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) method. The University is committed to diversity and inclusion in its public procurement process and encourages responders to highlight their efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion in their proposal response. Some key aspects of the project include: • The new campus center will be designed to retain select student-centered functions, including dining and retail spaces, gathering spaces, library spaces, and spaces for meetings and events. • The project will be required to follow the B3 State of Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines (B3) for applicable structures and meet the Minnesota SB 2030 Energy Standard. • The design team will be expected to facilitate stakeholder engagement and provide energy modeling at each design phase to model the energy use for the building and evaluate various options for reducing energy use. • The University has a goal of achieving a 10% Targeted Group/Economically Disadvantaged/Veteran-Owned (TG/ED/VO) subcontracting goal for the project.
