NC State University is seeking proposals from artists/teams to create a themed Wolfpack art installation for the newly completed Wellness and Recreation Center at Carmichael Gym, located in the Central Campus precinct. The vision for the new building addition was to shape the future of wellness on campus by unifying, celebrating and inspiring active lifestyles of NC State students, faculty and staff. The project includes expansive workout space (group fitness, mind/body studio, cardio, weights, functional training, personal training, rock climbing, bouldering, etc.) and 4 multi-purpose classrooms to serve Health and Exercise Studies (HES) as well as a Teaching Kitchen/Classroom to promote heathy cooking and eating habits. NC State University is commissioning an art installation of the Wolfpack Wall, integrated into a large wall (metal stud and drywall) located on the South side of the building’s prominent four-story atrium and is conceptualized as having some 3-dimensionality (relief or sculptural). The atrium wall is visible from the exterior through a large glazed curtainwall system on the South of the building. The concept of the art installation of the Wolfpack Wall is to illustrate the attributes of the pack, that live, feed, and travel as a family group. The art installation should represent the strength, confidence, pride, courage, spirit, and passion of NC State. As visitors circulate around the open atrium, we anticipate an emotional moment, a feeling of being part of the pack. It is envisioned that the installation will be integrated into the existing wall within the atrium. Current Building Code and ADA requirements will be adhered to, including Flame Spread requirements. Any structural elements required to support the structure will need to be included in the project budget and the design of such must be signed and sealed by a professional engineer registered in the State of North Carolina. The installation must be very durable and easily maintained. This experience will become part of the new history of the Wellness and Recreation Center and Carmichael Gym at NC State and will be memorable for future generations. The art installation may involve more than one medium but water and non-durable materials cannot be included in the design. The installation (objects and or features) must be anchored to prevent removal and the materials should be durable, lasting and vandal resistant.
