The SHG assisted Ursinus in selecting a the CMP partner in the Winter and Spring of 2018. The selection process was overseen by the College’s Campus Master Planning Task Force (Task Force). First, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was released to 42 firms to gauge interest and understand high level qualifications of the responding firms. Of the 27 firms that responded, 15 were selected by the Task Force to receive the Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive CMP services. Eleven firms responded to the RFP and five firms were invited for on-campus interviews. Ultimately, the College selected three firms specializing in different areas to develop an integrated Campus Master Plan.
The three firms are:
Hord Coplan Macht (HCM) – overarching comprehensive campus master plan
Dober Lidsky Mathey (DLM) – Academic space utilization and configuration study
Architectural Resource Cambridge (ARC) – Athletics Utilization Master Plan
