UNC-Chapel Hill

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking architectural and engineering services for the renovation and expansion of the BSL3 suites at the Burnett-Womack building. The project aims to create an approximately 10,000-sf BSL3 containment suite by reconfiguring approximately 5,000 square feet of the 13,900 square foot floor plate and renovating portions of the remainder of the ninth floor. The project will enable access to specialized equipment for supporting high containment research and create institution-wide core space for the recruitment of new investigators in the infectious disease research community. Key aspects of the project include: • Renovation and expansion of BSL3 suites • Creation of an approximately 10,000-sf BSL3 containment suite • Reconfiguration of approximately 5,000 square feet of the 13,900 square foot floor plate • Installation of new equipment to serve investigators within the many UNC centers, institutes, and departments • Increase in usable laboratory space in BSL3 facilities
