The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia is soliciting statements of qualifications from firms interested in providing design-build services for the construction of the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre Refresh project at Augusta University. The project includes the replacement and installation of new theatre seating, upgrades to life safety, and improvements to accessibility and interior design. The selected design-build team will work to coordinate the replacement of seating with a seating vendor and provide a mechanical systems assessment and report. The project has a preliminary stated cost limitation of $1 million and is expected to commence by June 2026. Key aspects of the project include: • Replacement of original seating • Upgrades to life safety, including improved aisle visibility with new lighting and addition of a new handrail to address ADA concerns • Mechanical systems assessment and report • Electrical engineering narrative for scope of work necessary for new aisle lighting • General interior design concept package for new finishes in the theatre • Coordination with seating vendor for electrical needs, finish selections, and new seat base attachments as necessary
