Professional Design Services to Raze the Westlawn Facility

The University of Iowa seeks professional design services from an Iowa-based firm for the Westlawn – Raze Facility project. The selected firm will review project information and provide design services from schematic design through record documents to raze the approximately 137,000-square-foot Westlawn facility, assess winterization options, and coordinate backfilling, grading, surface restoration, and utilities. Only Iowa-based firms may apply, and submittals must not include subconsultants. Applicants must submit their statements of qualifications via email in a single PDF file of up to 25 pages by 4:00 p.m. on November 10, 2026. The university will evaluate submittals to shortlist firms for interviews, with final selection based on interviews and qualifications to recommend an architect of record initially contracted for schematic design under a standard two-year agreement.
