| One-Two Sentences The Morehead Planetarium Building consists of the historic
1949 wing, Morehead Building, and an addition, built to the
east, in 1974. The building presently houses program,
educational and administrative space supporting multiple
tenants, primarily Morehead Planetarium & Science Center
and the Morehead-Cain Scholars Program
This project will fully renovate that portion of the
interior of the building occupied by the Morehead-Cain
Foundation, repair & improve the exterior building
envelope (including the roof), as well as renovate
associated utility spaces located in the basements of both
the addition and the original building. Improvements to the
base building environmental systems are expected, including
but not limited to: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, emergency
power, Fire Alarm, and Fire Protection. Improvements to the
building utilities and entry points will be evaluated for
inclusion in the project as part of this design effort.
A recent Advance Planning study to validate and refine the
requested project program and establish a total project
budget, was performed by Gensler Architects in early 2026,
and will be made available to the selected firm at time of
Award. | ||||||
