KSU East Liverpool Nursing Program Relocation Study

Kent State University is seeking qualified architectural firms to develop a planning study and later full architectural & engineering (A/E) services for the relocation and consolidation of nursing and occupational therapy laboratory spaces at its East Liverpool campus. The project involves roughly 10,000 gross sq ft of academic and simulation lab space, requiring programming, space planning, phasing, feasibility analysis, and design documentation to support future construction phases. The selected firm will also be positioned for a subsequent contract to deliver full design services for the phased build‑out. • Scope includes needs assessment, functional programming, space‑planning, and phased design for nursing simulation and OT labs. • Requires experience with higher‑education facilities and healthcare‑education environments (simulation labs, labs, phased delivery). • Pre‑proposal meeting scheduled for May 6, 2026; submission deadline May 15, 2026.
