Rationale for Pre-qualification

The University of Missouri – St. Louis has determined general contractor pre-qualification is necessary due to the complex nature of the renovation work being performed and the construction phasing entailed. This project will require a general contractor with a proven track record of successfully completing phased renovations of occupied higher education/institutional buildings with similar of comparable complexities. This project must be completed within a critical timeframe in order to meet the Owner’s schedule commitments.

Project Description

Department of Music/Department of Art & Design Space Consolidation

This project will provide much needed renovations to the Arts Administration Building (AAB) on UMSL’s North Campus. The project scope will include the construction of digital media studio, a lecture/recital hall, a 3D art studio, a percussion studio, along with offices and instructional spaces. The project will also include the demolition and shelling of adjacent spaces to prepare for future renovations. This project will allow the AAB to serve as the primary learning and performance space for UMSL’s music and art students.

UMSL SSB Elevator

This project will provide a new addition with an elevator to UMSL’s Social Science Building (SSB). This elevator will provide access to all four floors of the SSB. The new building addition will have an entrance in the quad area. The addition will meet ADA requirements, and will be fully sprinkled. Students will be present on campus during construction, creating the need for thorough fencing, signage, and other safety precautions.
