THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Shenandoah University obtained a conditional use permit from Winchester to build a new 34,000 sq ft performing arts center at 620 Millwood Avenue, including deviations from corridor enhancement standards. Site plans show a major campus infill project with a landscaped plaza, loading dock, chiller yard, screening walls, parking reconfiguration, and extensive landscaping. Design and engineering teams are identified, but construction and systems contractors are not, creating room for GC, specialty subs, building systems, AV, and facilities vendors to pursue upcoming implementation work and future expansions.

Background

CUP allows front setback deviation and front-yard mechanical equipment within the Corridor Enhancement District. Planning Commission and Planning & Economic Development Committee recommended approval; Council hearing July 14, 2026.

Questions about this project

What is a pre-RFP?

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

When will City of Winchester issue an RFP for this project?

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Winchester's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
