RFSQ Progressive Design-Build Services UW Bothell Husky Hall Replacement

University of Washington Bothell is requesting qualified submissions for progressive design-build services on the Husky Hall replacement project, with proposals due October 13, 2026. The scope encompasses full replacement of the existing 30,000-gross-square-foot single-story academic building with a modern three- to four-story structure of approximately 69,000 gross square feet.

The deliverable is a design-build facility that expands academic capacity for the School of Business and other programs; provides flexible, technology-enabled classrooms supporting multiple learning modes; includes informal learning spaces and student engagement areas; incorporates a multipurpose hall accommodating 300–500 people; and delivers faculty and staff offices designed for hybrid and HyFlex work practices. The design must reinforce architectural cohesion with the broader UW Bothell campus. The university has completed a predesign report analyzing existing conditions, programmatic requirements, site constraints, and design parameters, available as an RFQ attachment to inform proposers' submissions.

The procurement is structured as a request for qualifications under a progressive design-build delivery model, positioning qualified teams for subsequent negotiated phases. No contract value, term, or completion timeline is specified in the notice. Place of performance is UW Bothell, King County, Washington. The university has provided detailed predesign documentation including facility assessment, functional requirements, stakeholder input, and performance metrics to establish baseline conditions and design objectives for respondents.
