Employment of Architect/Engineer, Remodeling, College of Medicine at Peoria (Capital Development Board Project)

(26) The College of Medicine at Peoria is currently involved with the development of the Peoria Medical Research project, a broad-based program with participants that include the three major area hospitals, local physicians, Peoria area industries and businesses, the College of Medicine at Peoria, the Federal government, medical industry businesses, and a number of other medical industry-related entities both within and outside the Peoria area medical community. The major focus and objective of the project is to substantially expand the level of medical research conducted within the Peoria medical community. The proposed $2,384,884 remodeling project will provide for the expansion of the existing laboratory facilities and basic science resources in the areas of biology, physiology, and pharmacology. Initially, professional services for the project will incorporate an analysis of existing space and development of a comprehensive remodeling program for the new research center, including renovation of classroom space to accommodate additional faculty and staff and to provide adequate educational space for medical graduate and nursing students. Also included will be renovation and expansion of the vivarium, updating of building systems, and the acquisition of new equipment for the vivarium and labs. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Capital Development Board be requested to employ the firm of Gorski Reifsteck Architects, Champaign, for the project. The professional fee will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accordance with its procedures. Funds are available from the Build Illinois Bond Funds.
