UNC-CH Lineberger Cancer Ctr Renov Addn.pdf

This is a Designer Solicitation document from UNC-Chapel Hill Academic Affairs for the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Renovation & Addition project. The solicitation seeks architectural and engineering services for a $163,700,000 project to renovate and expand the existing cancer research facility, with key deliverables including developing facility options, conducting space programming studies, and identifying strategies to vacate the current facility. The project closing date is 09/09/2025, and UNC is requesting qualifications from a lead design firm and subconsultants across multiple disciplines including architecture, lab planning, structural engineering, landscape architecture, civil engineering, and mechanical systems.

The project aims to transform the Lineberger Cancer Research facility, originally constructed in 1981 with a 1994 addition, from its current fair to poor condition into a state-of-the-art cancer research center. UNC intends to position the facility as a leading cancer research program by building on a 50-year legacy of excellence, supporting interdisciplinary research, and creating flexible research spaces to foster collaboration and innovation. The solicitation indicates that Advance Planning spending authority has been received, with the intent to engage a design team upon successful completion of the Advance Planning Phase and receipt of additional funding. Proposers must be licensed in the State of North Carolina, and submissions will be reviewed to assemble a comprehensive design team with a single contract executed with the lead design firm.
