Illinois State University is seeking statements of qualifications from qualified professional design firms interested in providing design and construction administrative services for the installation of a new shingled roof for the Cardinal Court housing complex on the Illinois State University main campus in Normal, Illinois.

The scope of the project will include the removal of the existing roof and replacement with a new shingle roofing system.
