UConn - Renovation of IPB for Relocation of C2E2 - Invitation to Prequalify

The project involves the renovation of the Intellectual Property Building (IPB) to facilitate the relocation of the C2E2 laboratory, encompassing approximately 10,800 square feet of wet and dry lab space on the first and third floors of an existing shell structure. The scope includes comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) work, which must be carefully coordinated with ongoing activities in occupied corridors and laboratories, as adjacent spaces are fully occupied, and C2E2 is the final tenant to occupy the building fully. The renovation is scheduled from October 2024 to June 2025, with an estimated total cost of around $15 million. The project aims to upgrade and fit out the designated areas to meet laboratory standards while ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
