Request for Prequalification (RFQ) No. 5718-2022; Saddleback College Science Math Building Project

The project involves a comprehensive hazmat abatement and demolition of an existing three-story cast-in-place concrete building spanning approximately 81,420 gross square feet. A new Science Math building will be constructed on the site, offering around 32,100 assignable square feet and 49,385 gross square feet. This state-of-the-art facility will accommodate various academic and administrative functions, including computer and cybersecurity labs for the Computer Sciences Department, math labs and lecture rooms, a large assembly space, a broadcast room for distance education, library study areas, collaboration spaces, offices for faculty, staff, and adjuncts, workrooms, storage, meeting rooms, a lounge, cyber services, and data processing rooms. The project also aims to improve campus connectivity by replacing an existing bridge and expanding the plaza area between the Science Math building and the LRC building, enhancing access between the upper campus quad and the lower campus Parking Lot No. 10, along with site improvements such as landscaping, irrigation, paving, and lighting.
