Project Description
The College of Health and Behavioral Studies’ addition is a 5-story, 125,367 gross square foot building will be located to the southeast of the existing Health and Behavioral Studies building. A transparent, Circulation Bridge will connect the two buildings. Major program spaces in the project include community-oriented, state-of-the-art clinic space, along with administrative support spaces. A new patient drop-off area will be located between the new building and the existing Grace Street parking deck. Patient families and caregivers will be provided dedicated parking in the Grace Street parking deck and Wine Price parking lot. Included in scope is additional classrooms and labs for our nursing and kinesiology programs. The buildings public activity will be very visible from MLK Jr. Way, and pedestrian paths and open spaces will flank it. The new College of Health and Behavioral Studies addition embraces JMU’s environmental commitment. Environmental stewardship is expressed in the use of energy efficiency standards in its design including: the generous use of natural light, energy-efficient systems, reduced water usage, and an overall compressed footprint to minimize site disturbance.
Procurement: Understanding Process
- Search for Bidders – Project teams review internet databases, owner recommendations and community partner lists for vendors who match upcoming bid packages.
- Outreach Event – Vendors who attend the Outreach Event have the opportunity to meet the Barton Malow team, learn more about the project and connect with potential partners.
- Register + Pre-qualify – All vendors interested in bidding on the project must both Register and Pre-qualify. Vendors must register for each project they are interested in bidding. Vendors pre-qualify their business only once – this step is not required for every project.

- Bid Day – This is the day all bidders submit their bids for review. Bids must be submitted according to the process and procedures outlined in the materials received with the invitation to bid.
