Project: Cates West Development
NC State Project #202420022
Project Description: Geotechnical, Construction Materials Testing, and Special Inspection services are required for Cates West Development. This project will provide new student housing and dining facilities in multiple phases to address increased demand driven by enrollment growth and the freshman live-on-campus requirement. The project will construct about 3000 traditional and semi-suite style student beds and a new 1500-seat dining facility on Central Campus, and will have a focus on sustainability.
- ~800,000 GSF of housing
- ~100,000 GSF of dining
- ~25,000 GSF of student life space
Three existing student housing buildings, a dining facility, and a small service building at the end of their useful lives will be demolished as part of this multi-phase project. To meet financial goals, the bed count must increase with each phase of development. A new dining facility will increase the seat count for all-you-care-to-eat dining, including a cafe + market, and a student center activity-oriented space. The project includes a new regional utility plant, underground utility distribution, and considers rerouting a campus street. Phases anticipated:
- Phase 1 – construct approximately 1,500 beds
- Phase 2 – demolish one residence hall, the West Dunn Building, and construct approximately 750 beds and the dining hall/student center space
- Phase 3 – demolish remaining buildings, construct approximately 750 beds
Each phase of the project will target LEED Silver or better. Detailed Sustainability goals are being developed and will be provided to the selected design team during the Master Planning/Advanced Planning phases.
Closing Date: June 27, 2025, 5:00 pm
