Project Overview

A. Project Description

Bowling Green State University (BGSU) is requesting interested firms to submit qualifications for Architectural/Engineering

(A/E) services for the BGSU Kreischer Hall Renovation Phase I.

Kreischer Hall, originally built in 1966, is a four-winged large residential building (310,950 SF), with a central full-service

dining facility, the Sundial. Kriescher Hall consists of traditional rooms, community restrooms, and community lounges. In

additional to the Sundial, Kreischer also hosts a food convenience Market, two residential kitchens, computer labs, coin-

free laundry and designated study spaces available for residents.

The Kreischer Hall Renovation Phase I targets the two western residential wings and includes the installation of air

conditioning to enable year-round occupancy and comfort, for both academic-year residence and summer conference

guests. Kreischer’s central dining is currently air conditioned via connection to the Campus Central Chiller Plant loop,

which was completed summer 2025, in preparation for this project. The existing community-style restrooms will be

replaced with pod-style restrooms, designed to improve user privacy and support more flexible room assignment

strategies. The scope also includes comprehensive interior and exterior upgrades, encompassing finishes, lighting, and

architectural elements to enhance residential units, circulation zones, and primary entryways—ultimately improving both

functionality and visual appeal.

Included in the initial phase of construction will be a full renovation and reimagining of the Sundial, the 28,500 SF dining

facility. The dining portion of the project aims to elevate the student experience, uniting the two sides of the residence

hall, and reinvigorate dining on the east side of campus. The project will strategically optimize existing resources while

delivering both operational improvements and aesthetic upgrades to create a refreshed, welcoming, and efficient dining

environment. BGSU’s dining partner Chartwell’s Design Team will be involved in the design of the Sundial dining facility.

The two eastern wings will remain operational for residence throughout Phase I and are anticipated to be completed as

part of Kreischer Hall Renovation Phase II, following completion of Phase I. Additional scope to complete Phase II, as

well as any associated work, may be included in or added to this contract at BGSU’s discretion.

B. Scope of Services

For projects advertised with an appropriately developed Program of Requirements (“POR”), upon award of the

Agreement, commence with Design. For projects without such a POR, upon award of the Agreement, commence by

developing the Program of Requirements.
