The University of North Florida Board of Trustees, a public body corporate, announces that Construction Management Services are required for the renovation of Skinner-Jones Halls located on the UNF campus at 1 UNF Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32224.
Project information
This project is still in the Advanced Programming phase. The preliminary concept calls for the total renovation of the North and South wings of Skinner-Jones Halls plus a four-story new building just east and contiguous to Skinner-Jones Hall North.
The statement of needs indicates there will be a variety of space types to allow for the accommodation of the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction (which will occupy most of the Skinner-Jones North wing and the four-story addition) as well as a small component of the Brooks College of Health. Skinner-Jones South wing will be renovated to accommodate the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, a component of the Math Department, the Department of Social Work, the Writing Center and several general purpose classrooms.
It is anticipated that the program will be approximately 107,000 gross square feet of renovations and new construction. The project is to be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of the renovation of Skinner-Jones Hall North (Building 4) in conjunction with the construction of the new four story building. Once Phase 1 is substantially complete, Phase 2, the renovation of Skinner-Jones Hall South (Building 3), can commence. It is also anticipated that prior to starting Phase 1 there may be a need to relocate the majority of utility services that currently run between these buildings. Other than the attached schematic space allocation, no technical information is available at this time. The buildings are expected to meet or exceed the USGBC LEED Silver certification. The estimated construction budget for this project is $20 to $24 Million.
