The Tower at Morgan Hill
Based upon our extensive experience in the renovation of university residence halls, Denark Construction was directly selected to serve as the Construction Manager At-Risk for this $12 Million renovation project.
The 21-story, 207,000 SF apartment building, once occupied by University of Tennessee married students, is undergoing a major renovation by a private developer to upgrade the facility in order to meet the needs of 21st Century students. All 240 apartments are getting a complete makeover with new windows, HVAC systems, interior finishes, and new kitchens and bathrooms. Tenants will enjoy a wide array of amenities, including a theatre, a state-of-the-art fitness studio, a gated pool, a computer room, Wi-Fi service throughout the building and at the pool, and an onsite parking garage.
Construction is scheduled to be complete by Summer 2010. Design Innovation is the architectural firm for this project. To view the Knoxville News-Sentinel article click here
