New construction of a 120,000 SF science research and instructional building (anticipated to be 8-10 stories depending on site constraints) to support GSU's growing science research and teaching program. The building is anticipated to be compatible in form and appearance to the two earlier projects in the Science Research Center on the Atlanta campus, and have a complementary space program. Space allocation is anticipated to be for research labs (~40%), instructional labs (~15%), office and service space (~14%), special instructional space (vivarium) (~12%), classrooms (~5%), student study (~5%), and building support (9%). Interior space, particularly the research labs, will employ contemporary design with a focus on flexibility to support a growing and evolving research program. Upper floors may be connected with adjacent buildings to enhance security, promote communication and circulation, and economize on shared services. The building is proposed to use natural light to create an open and inviting environment Deadline for submission of written questions and requests for clarification - 8/1/2022 2:00 PM Deadline for submission of written questions and requests for clarification.
