Notice of Requested Architectural and Engineering Services
Notice is hereby given of the commencement of the selection process for architectural and engineering services for the Wichita State University McKnight Art Center Printmaking Ventilation Project.
This project scope will improve the ventilation in the printmaking classrooms in the McKnight Art Center building. The project is needed to improve health and safety for students and faculty in the classrooms and to meet the accreditation requirements for the printmaking program. The existing layout of the second-floor printmaking classrooms is not conducive to an efficient exhaust and ventilation system configuration. The classrooms will be reconfigured with new walls to provide a more efficient layout for equipment and printmaking processes. New ventilation (DOAS units and associated exhaust) will be provided to remove the contaminates in the space associated with the printmaking processes. The existing HVAC system serving the second floor is at the end of the equipment service life. The system will be updated on the second floor to accommodate the remodeled configuration as well as addressing a deferred maintenance item for the building. The project construction budget is $1,600,000.
An architectural/engineering program is available at http://admin.ks.gov/offices/ofpm/dcc/arch-eng-programs. For more information contact Emily Patterson at emily.patterson@wichita.edu or 316-978-5829.
