Denark served as CM At-Risk on the new construction of the Ashraf Islam Engineering Building at Tennessee Tech University.
The 107,000 SF facility is comprised of three stories that include engineering labs, classrooms, 125- and 200-seat lecture halls, instructional laboratories, research laboratories, offices, student collaboration areas, and other support spaces. It also includes a larger high bay “Maker Space” for students and projects. This space houses a machine shop and fabrication facility, including welding areas, and is accessible from the exterior by high-bay door access.
“Denark was selected to construct our Engineering Building, a 100,000 SF facility slated for groundbreaking later this year. The company’s performance on the Marc L. Burnett Student Recreation & Fitness Center project was definitely an influencing factor. TTU’s project team is excited to be working with Denark on another university project.”
