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.
