Architectural/Engineering Services for Warehouse Renovation - Center for Advanced Manufacturing Aviation Program

Guilford County, North Carolina is requesting proposals for architectural and engineering services to renovate approximately 9,000 square feet of unconditioned warehouse space into conditioned facilities for aviation composites laboratories, classrooms, storage, offices, and code-compliant restrooms, with proposals due October 16, 2026.

The existing structure comprises concrete floors, steel columns, roof joists, metal roof deck, and limited finished drywall on metal stud framing. The scope includes design for demolition of portions of the heavy-duty industrial slab to accommodate restroom plumbing where required by code, full HVAC and electrical systems to support the laboratories and instructional equipment, and structural modifications to create conditioned space. The design must achieve full compliance with Land Use Restrictions in the applicable Brownfields Agreement, a constraint that will govern material selection, construction sequencing, and site remediation requirements. The A/E firm will design systems and structural work but will not oversee installation of instructional equipment, which is reserved for a separate project.

The renovation serves the Center for Advanced Manufacturing aviation composites program and must meet all applicable building codes. No contract value, budget range, or contract term is specified. The procurement timeline includes a proposal due date of October 16, 2026; questions due and pre-bid meeting dates are not identified in the source material.
