To support the goal of enhancing the visual and performing arts, the University has initiated a feasibility study for the development of an Arts Precinct on Carr's Hill. The study will establish programs for the Bayly Museum, the McIntire Department of Art, the Department of Music, and the Department of Drama, and will explore strategies for accommodating the programs in appropriately configured spaces through renovations, additions, and new facilities. The Architect Selection Committee recently completed its selection process and ranked the firm of Dagit. Saylor Architects of Pennsylvania, as its first choice. Term contracts are used for the engagement of architectural and engineering firms to provide investigations, cost estimates, designs and related services for small capital construction projects.
Most projects completed under term contracts are renovations.
The first project to be completed under this contract is the renovation of clinical spaces for the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology and Radiation Oncology.
