Project Description: Built in 1970, Poe Hall is a seven-story, concrete-frame, 150,982 GSF building in the North Precinct of Main Campus at NC State. In 2023, the presence of hazardous materials was detected in the building; subsequently, the building was vacated, with all occupants relocated to other buildings. NC State is in the process of demolishing the existing Poe Hall building and intends to build a new building to replace the building to be demolished.
NC State has opted to use the Design-Build delivery method for the project and is in the process of selecting the Design-Builder for the project.
This project will involve building a new building such that the university may resume normal operations in the building as quickly as reasonably practicable, with NC State and the Design-Builder agreeing to a project schedule prior to execution of the Construction Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”).
Project Budget: $145,000,000 to $155,000,000 for NC State’s Total Project Cost, inclusive of all Design-Builder’s costs, other Consultants, Owner’s Contingencies, and Associated Construction Costs.
Pre-Submittal Meeting: A pre-submittal meeting will be held on September 23, 2026. Interested Cost Estimators are invited to RSVP here. Attendance is not mandatory but is highly encouraged.
Closing Date: 2:00 PM, October 9, 2026
Questions/Proposal Submittal: In order that the selection process be as objective as possible, do not contact members of the Board of Trustees or any university officials other than the project manager. All questions and project submittals are to be directed to:
