KSU East Liverpool Nursing Program Relocation Study Kent State University is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from qualified architectural firms to provide professional design and planning services for a phased renovation and space optimization project at the Kent State East Liverpool campus. Selection will also be the basis for a future contract to provide full A/E services for the phased construction. Purinton Hall, originally constructed in 1915 and acquired by the University in 1968, currently houses classrooms and science laboratories supporting a range of academic programs. In 2024, the facility underwent infrastructure upgrades to accommodate the relocation of advanced nursing and occupational therapy laboratories from the Mary Patterson Building, addressing increasing demand for healthcare education across the state of Ohio. As part of its ongoing strategic planning, the University is aligning campus facilities with current and projected enrollment trends. This project represents a phased initiative supported by capital funding. The selected firm will provide comprehensive planning services for the consolidation and relocation of nursing laboratory and simulation lab functions and related academic spaces, encompassing approximately 10,000 gross square feet. Scope of services is expected to include programming, space planning, phasing and feasibility analysis, and design documentation to support future capital-funded construction project(s). Firms should demonstrate experience with higher education facilities, healthcare or clinical learning environments including nursing simulation labs, physical and occupational therapy laboratories, and phased project delivery. Interested parties may attend a pre-proposal meeting at 11:00am Wednesday May 6, 2026 in Room 102 Harbourt Hall, 615 Loop Road, Kent, Ohio 44242.

LCM Fire Alarm Replacement Liquid Crystal Materials (LCM) is an 82,100 square feet fully sprinklered building. It houses the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute and is home to both research and instructional facilities. This project is for a complete replacement of the Fire Alarm system to include all conduit, wire, devices, permit, inspections, etc. The existing Edwards fire alarm system is to be completely replaced with a new system including everything required for a complete code compliant system such as a new Main Fire Alarm Control Panel, flow switches, tamper switches, pull stations, smoke detectors, heat detectors, duct detectors, and voice addressable notification devices. Once the new system is installed and fully operational the old system must be completely removed and properly disposed. Interested parties may attend a pre-proposal meeting on Thursday, December 11, 2025 10:00am in Room 102 Harbourt Hall, 615 Loop Road, Kent, Ohio 44242.
