Project Description | One-Two Sentences The Lineberger Cancer Research facility serves as the
headquarters for the University of North Carolina Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC), the only public
comprehensive cancer center in North Carolina. As the
central hub for interdisciplinary cancer research at
UNC-Chapel Hill, the LCCC unites research and clinical
faculty from across campus and beyond.
Originally constructed in 1981 with an addition in 1994, the
Lineberger Cancer Research facility is currently rated in
fair to poor condition, with building systems nearing the
end of their expected service life. UNC seeks to provide a
facility for LCCC to enable it to continue its integrative
and successful growth trajectory, building on a 50-year
legacy of excellence and positioning LCCC to become the
leading cancer research program in the United States This
facility will support the LCCC's growing research
mission and instructional needs with flexible research
laboratories and instructional spaces designed to foster
collaboration and innovation for current investigators and
students, while enhancing UNC's ability to recruit
top-tier researchers and clinicians.
Scope of Advance Planning Phase
-Develop Facility Options:
-Renovate and expand the existing facility with a 60,000 sq.
ft. vertical addition (three stories).
-Replace and expand the facility on the current site.
-Construct a new facility at an alternate location on the
School of Medicine campus.
Key Deliverables:
-Provide a Space Programming Report updating previous
planning studies and identifying current and future LCCC
space needs.
-Identification of enabling projects, including swing space
strategies to vacate the current facility as required for
each proposed option.
-Development of project cost estimates for each option.
The primary objective of the phase is to develop a preferred
scenario supported by robust planning and cost data.
The project has received Advance Planning spending
authority. The intent is to engage the selected design team
for full design services upon successful completion of the
Advance Planning Phase and receipt of additional funding
authority, at the university's option.
UNC is seeking qualifications for the lead design firm and
subconsultants for the disciplines as shown below. Each
submission should include qualifications for no more than a
single bullet point on this list. Submissions should
indicate if you are submitting as the lead design firm. UNC
will select the Lead Design firm first. Once the selection
is approved by the Board of Trustees, UNC will provide the
submissions for other disciplines to the Lead Design firm in
order to assemble a design team. UNC intends to review these
submissions with the Lead Design firm, but will not contract
separately for design services; rather, a single,
comprehensive design contract will be executed with the lead
design firm to include all disciplines required to deliver
the project.
