Project Description:
The project includes the following work: The primary scope is the renovation of approximately 40,000 SF of the existing 4th and 5th floors of the University of Washington Medical Center Northwest A-wing, 1550 N 115th Street Seattle, WA 98133. These floors are comprised of medical/surgical inpatient units with 36 patient rooms per floor. This is an interior tenant improvement only with no changes to building envelope. The renovation will meet the requirements of the Department of Health licensing. Project scope is limited to avoid a substantial alteration designation and Seattle Energy Code upgrades.
Patient rooms and nurse stations will be updated with a more efficient layout and refreshed finishes. Patient room updates will include installation of new patient lifts, headwalls, plumbing fixtures, nurse call system, lighting and wall and floor finishes. Nurse stations will be updated with a more efficient layout and will minimize noise throughout the unit. The corridors will be updated with new flooring, wall finishes, lighting and wayfinding. Staff lounge and conference rooms will be updated. Mechanical system scope includes the replacement of the heating, ventilation, and cooling systems (HVAC) ductwork and VAV boxes and plumbing scope is to replace in-kind lavatories and water closets. Medical gas scope includes replacement of outlets in patient headwalls and new zone valve boxes. Electrical scope includes minor electrical and low voltage upgrades.
Construction will occur in 2 phases per floor, non-concurrently, for a total of 4 phases. While construction is occurring on one half of a floor, the other half will continue to be an occupied inpatient unit. There will be a 2-week transition period between each phase to allow for UWMC to move in and move out. Thorough coordination will be required throughout all phases of construction to minimize impacts to the occupied space adjacent, above, and below the construction site.

Click the plus (+) sign for details.
The UW is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified general contractor design builders (which may include join ventures) to design and construct the UW Welcome Center. UW will engage in a two-part Integrated Design-Build (IDB) selection process: the General Contractor selection followed by the Design Architect selection. The University is utilizing the Design-Build alternative public works contracting procedure authorized under chapter 39.10 RCW, where the Design-Builder will be selected primarily on the basis of qualifications for the procurement, design, and delivery of the project. This project delivery method is appropriate for this project because it meets the following criteria listed in RCW 39.10.300:
- (a) The construction activities are highly specialized, and a design-build approach is critical in developing the construction methodology;
- (b) The project provides opportunity for greater innovation or efficiencies between the designer and the builder;
- (c) Significant savings in project delivery time would be realized.
Scope:
The proposed Welcome Center will be a vibrant, inspiring place housing a variety of uses, including the UW Visitors Center, the starting point for campus tours and prospective student programming; the alumni center and UW Alumni Association (UWAA) programming; community and neighborhood programming; event, conference, and lecture space; University - branded retail sales; and social space for casual gatherings - all in addition to supporting an improved prospective student and visitor experience. The proposed 30,000-33,000 GSF facility will be located at the northwest corner of our historic campus core, adjacent to the existing Burke Museum, along NE 45th Street between Memorial Way and 15th Ave NE.
Pre-submission meeting:
A representative from each design-build firm that intends to submit a SOQ is strongly encouraged to attend and sign-in at the pre-submission meeting scheduled for January 30, 2025, at 11:00 am. The pre-submittal meeting will be held in the Burke Museum, East Classroom (4303 Memorial Way, NE, Seattle, WA 98195.

University of Washington Facilities (UWF) is requesting proposals from experienced multi-disciplinary teams to develop a near-term (8-10 years) implementation plan for addressing the Seattle campus’ deferred maintenance backlog in conjunction with the phased transition of the campus utility and energy infrastructure. In addition to a broader look at opportunities for the campus as a whole, a particular area of focus will be on the multi-phased renewal of the Magnuson Health Sciences Center (MHSC) and updating the work done in the South Campus Implementation Framework to assist the University in determining a viable phased approach for critical capital investments necessary to ensure the continued success of the Health Science Schools in fulfilling their core mission(s) as national leaders in education and research. Both the overall campus and the MHSC analyses should address recently available facility condition assessment data and will coordinate with a related but separate effort to plan for the renewal of the University’s utility and energy infrastructure.
