3 INTRODUCTION Established in 1963, Lorain County Community College (LCCC) is located approximately 30 miles west of Cleveland, Ohio and is the first community college in Ohio with a permanent campus.

Access to this suite of cutting-edge digital manufacturing equipment is complemented by hands-on classes, programming, and events for every user, including pre-k 12 students, college students and faculty, community inventors, artists, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Campana Center for Ideation and Invention Goals 1. Foster a culture of invention and ideation throughout the community, including families and K Create a dynamic user experience - bring inventions to life while encouraging a culture of design thinking. 3.

5 THE CAMPANA STORY Patsie and Jenee (nee Hume) Campana understood the importance of investing in others especially since, at an early age, both of their parents had invested in them. A lack of jobs in their home country of Italy led Patsie s parents to move him from a poor mountain town to Lorain, Ohio, where the family ran a neighborhood market and bar. Jenee s parents, meanwhile, moved here after the Dust Bowl from their Nebraska town to a more prosperous farm in Powell, Wyoming. Through these investments in Patsie and Jenee, their parents provided them not only with food and shelter but with an opportunity to gain an education, develop a strong work ethic, set high goals and show their appreciation by investing back into their family. Patsie and Jenee married, and in 1968, realized their dream of founding P.C. Campana Inc. Today, the company remains successful and continues to contribute to the community. The Campana Ideation Center at Lorain County Community College was established to continue that tradition of giving back. Patsie and Jenee s son, Bob Campana, says the only reason his family including his five siblings is here in this country is because his grandfather came to America to find a job and opportunity. Why did the immigrants come to where they came to? Jobs, Campana says. So a proud father and mother could make enough money to raise their children in a free society. That s why we re so passionate about this. Today, he says, his family is in a position to pay it forward. While there are a lot of people in the region who have the drive and the skills to work, the jobs just aren t there. Through the Ideation Center, the family hopes to help people with good ideas find funding to move their idea forward and create those jobs. We are passionate about job creation, Campana says. It s an honorable thing to be able to work and provide for your family. Anything we can do, we invest in companies. It s all about jobs. RFQ GOALS Lorain County Community College wishes to engage creative talent to design a unique and dynamic story wall in the newly expanded and renovated Campana Center for Ideation and Invention. While the building name recognizes the Campana family, there are several families that have significantly contributed to the growth and innovations in Lorain County. It is this legacy, and it s continued impact, that resonate. The initial objectives of the project are to: Recognize the donors that have made the Center for Ideation and Invention possible; to tell the related stories of the families that contributed to Lorain County growth and innovations and how that relates to the new Center for Ideation and Invention Inspire visitors and potential users as to the capabilities of the Center for Ideation and Invention Serve as a resource for additional information about the Center for Ideation and Invention, such as the types of spaces and equipment Page 5

6 The goal of this RFQ process is to identify a formidable talent pool from which the College intends to select a minimum of three design firms for interview. Fee proposals for the programming portion of the project will be requested from selected interviewees; it is the practice of the College to engage in the programming activity under a Purchase Order, as it is the programming activity that delineates the scope and related budget parameters. Ultimately one design firm will be contracted for all phases of the design project: The anticipated activities and deliverables are, as envisioned today: Programming/problem definition Concept generation Concept development an refinement Specifications for implementation Ability to understand, coordinate and integrate all the related design disciplines that may be required Oversight of fabrication and installation SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS Inquiries and Information Requests Prior to Submission The Purchasing Office will act as the clearinghouse for all inquiries and information requests. All inquiries and information requests must be submitted electronically to Becky George, Procurement Manager, rwulfhoo@lorainccc.edu and Laura Carissimi, Director of Purchasing, lcarissi@lorainccc.edu.
