the construction
This contract will be with HHArchitects of Dallas, and includes our appropriate engineering
consultants and our library Design consultant MS&R of Minneapolis MS&R will also contract

interiors contract services include design of furniture layouts ( to be done in conjunction with the
building design ), selection of furniture and materials, preparation of bidding documents,
assistance in purchasing furnishings and their receipt and installation in the facility The Interiors
