The Marquette David Straz Jr. Tower is an 18-story, 300 unit renovation of the former YMCA facility into a modern Collegiate Residence Hall. Multiple phases of construction were accomplished through high level coordination of various trades to complete the work in a fully occupied environment. In addition to the interior space being taken down to structure and fitted with new mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems prior to all new finishes, the façade was redone using brighter colors and installing a new window wall and wall panel system. The renovated building now features double, triple and quad residences all with private bathroom facilities and individual floor study lounges, a large kitchen/dining facility and a student exercise/fitness center.
