Request for Qualifications – Montana Developmental Center Campus Concept Plan & Preliminary Architectural Report – Boulder, Montana

boulder, montana and MONTANA DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER

The project area includes two campuses that are separated by the Boulder River. The MDC Campus, which is on the north side, has primarily been used as an education facility for special needs individuals. The MDC has a mix of residential and commercial type buildings. The South Campus was first used as an education and treatment campus for special needs individuals.  The South Campus has several buildings that are owned by Jefferson County and Jefferson Local Development Corporation (JLDC).

The primary focus of reutilization isa veteran education support center that would provide training opportunities matched with workforce needs. The two primary areas identified with statewide shortages were related to healthcare and computer related hard and soft skills. Coordination with healthcare leadership identified a need for a veteran pain management center that would be easily matched with the facilities available at the MDC. The primary facilities that would be used to support the pain management center would be the main administrative building, the recreation center building and residential on-site housing. The infrastructure and utilization of these facilities would require a PAR to help determine financial consideration for reutilization of the facility as a multi-functional support center. The large commercial kitchen also presented an opportunity to provide logistical support to the veteran center with an expanded role of becoming a local food processing and education center that would support entrepreneurs with food product production with an expanding marketing capability.
