The University of York (the "University") is a member of the prestigious Russell Group, we are a dynamic, research-intensive university. The University works collaboratively with institutions across the world to develop life-saving discoveries and new technologies that tackle some of the most pressing global challenges. The University's 30+ academic departments undertake ground-breaking research that underpins our inspiring teaching and challenges students to dream big, think critically and change the world. More information about the University can be found at: www.york.ac.uk/about/ ↗
The University Square project is aligned to this vision and is focused on the creation of a welcoming arrival, forming a new front door to the University. At the heart of the project is a landmark student-focussed building: The Student Centre.
The University is wishing to procure a design team to produce designs for its new Student Centre building, as well as providing some architectural input into the wider University Square neighbourhood. To achieve our ambitions, we are seeking architectural talent of the highest calibre.
The University will follow the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) procurement process to appoint a design team.
We anticipate that the design team will include an architect, landscape architect and cost consultant, however the University embraces cross-disciplinary working and encourages competitors to submit proposals developed in collaboration with others.
This project represents an opportunity to help define the University's sustainability trajectory and 2030 carbon emission target. This will serve to minimise the carbon footprint of the project, decrease ongoing maintenance costs and be an attractive selling point to prospective students. This scheme will become a benchmark for future projects around the university.
The overall anticipated University Square and Student Centre budget shall be between £60m and £65m.
The University acknowledges the level of resource required by bidders to prepare designs to RIBA Stage 2 when submitting final tenders, and will make an honorarium payment of £9,000 to each of the three to five shortlisted bidders who submit a compliant final tender.
The location of the new Student Centre building shall be between Vanbrugh Way and Harewood Way to the south side of University Road.
The University anticipates the total of the professional construction consultancy fees for this appointment to be in the range £4-£7m.
