Project Name
UIH/OCC Remodeling/Renovations

Description of Project
This project will employ architectural and engineering services to develop a feasibility study for the remodeling/upgrade/renovation of various areas within the University of Illinois Hospital and Outpatient Care Center. Renovation/remodeling in the University of Illinois Hospital may include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Sleep Lab, SICU & NICU, Surgery, Imaging, GI & Cardiology. In the Outpatient Care Center renovation/remodeling may include low intensity medical, administrative offices, Radiology, Orthopedic and MRI reconfiguration. General building upgrades may include a new lobby, northwest building area in-fill and fourth floor in-fill at the University of Illinois Hospital and remodeling/renovation of public spaces at the Outpatient Care Center.

Upon approval of the feasibility study, the retained architect/engineer will then be responsible for the completion of the schematic design phase for each of the various areas/projects and acting as master architect for the entire project. The master architect will provide oversight and expertise as necessary to assure design continuity through the work of multiple A/E firms (the University intends to select multiple A/E firms (architects of record) to complete the various renovation/remodeling/in-fill projects). The master architect will also coordinate its efforts with a commissioning engineer(s) also to be independently selected to manage commissioning of the various areas/projects.

The initial commission may be limited to the preparation of the feasibility study only, pending availability of funding and project approval.
