3 UNSW ALUMNI PARK EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST.0 INTRODUCTION EOI OBJECTIVE INFORMATION PACKAGE This request for an Expression of Interest (EoI) is the first stage of a two stage process to select a landscape architect to lead the consultant team to design and develop Alumni Park at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). The objective of this EoI is to shortlist up to five Landscape s to participate in a design competition for the new Park. Respondents are required to nominate a preferred team to include, but does not need to be limited to, artist and architect. Submissions in response to this EoI should therefore focus on the capability of the respondent to design and deliver a project of this type. Submissions must NOT include a design response to the project brief and any such material will be disregarded. 2.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW As the Kensington Campus continues to develop, and the number of students living on campus increases, and the number of students and staff working on campus increases, there is a need to provide a contemporary and engaging campus environment that reflects the University s reputation and aspirations, enhances the daily lives of those living and working there and helps attract future staff and students. Through a recent review of the Campus Urban Design Framework, a significant opportunity has been identified to transform the North West sector of the campus with Alumni Park, a significant, new open space. The 2 hectare open space is to be delivered in a staged development over the next few years. The project must consider: Below grade parking opportunities (identified in appendix 3) to replace some of that being forfeited; The location and design of a multifunctional public venue; The incorporation of public art; The complex staging constraints implied by the demolition of Io Myers Studio, D0 and Baxter College; The relocation of functions of D0 and Io Myers Studio facilities; The relationship to all adjacent buildings and open spaces, in particular the heritage conservation area located on the north eastern end of the proposed site; The pedestrian and vehicular circulation networks (appendix 4); An opportunity to recognise the important contribution of alumni to the development of UNSW; Improved recreational opportunities for the increasing number of students residing on campus; and An overall improvement to the amenity of campus for its students, staff and the wider community. 3.0 THE SITE Alumni Park is envisioned to be the largest consolidated open space on campus with a site area of approximately 20700m 2. The existing site is currently occupied by redundant and out-dated buildings, roads and surface car parking. The site is located adjacent to a program of student housing developments underway along, between Gate and Gate 7, commencing with the 02-bed Campus Living Villages development, and now being followed up with the 399-bed independent living student accommodation development at Gate 2 and 2

4 the 947-bed Kensington Colleges Redevelopment and Expansion project between Gates 4 and 7. International House also has plans to add another 45 beds. A new Materials Science and Engineering Building is also now in the design development stage, located south west to the site. This project not only has growth space built into the brief, but has potential for further lateral expansion. The future of the increasingly out-of-date student focussed facilities in the most north-west sector of the campus (Roundhouse, Blockhouse, Squarehouse, Sports and Recreation Facilities) is now being carefully examined. Refer to Appendix and 2 for maps Site in UNSW context and existing campus open space network. 4.0 THE PROCUREMENT STRATEGY 4. OUTLINE OF THE REQUEST PROCESS The EoI process for selecting the consultant team, to be led by the landscape architect, to work with UNSW to design Alumni Park will be in two stages: Stage Request for EoI; and Stage 2 Design Competition Respondents are invited in the Stage EoI to nominate their preferred artistic and architectural collaborators and to demonstrate their collective ability and approach for consideration by the assessment panel. A shortlist of up to five teams will then be invited to participate in the Stage 2 Design Competition. Respondents that submit an EoI that complies with the selection criteria will be assessed by the EoI Panel. UP to five groups will be invited to participate in the Stage 2 Design Competition at the panel s absolute discretion. All respondents will be notified of the Panel s decision Shortlisted respondents will be given four weeks, from the end of January 203, to prepare a design response to the project brief. Detailed briefing information, submission requirements and terms of reference will be provided at the commencement of Stage 2. A fee of $20,000 will be paid to each unsuccessful respondent for a compliant competition submission. 4.2 EVALUATION PANEL EoI respondents will be assessed by the EoI Evaluation Panel members listed below: Peter McGeorge A/Prof Linda Corkery Anne Warren Geoffrey Leeson Associate Director (Planning and Development), UNSW Head of Landscape ure Program, FBE, UNSW Manager, Campus & Capital Planning, Major Projects, UNSW Senior Project Manager, Major Projects, UNSW 3
