Smoot Construction was initially retained by the Architect to provide preconstruction and scheduling services for the fast-track renovation of the former 11-story Holiday Inn on Lane Avenue into a residence hall to house
more than 450 students.
Following the start of construction, the University requested that our participation be expanded to include construction administration oversight and scheduling services during the completion of the work along a very tight
six-month timeframe.
The scope of work included the conversion of guest rooms into double, triple and quad-occupancy dorm rooms, the reconfiguration of the existing kitchen and banquet facilities into a Campus Dining Services location,
complete upgrade of the building’s electrical, technology, mechanical and life-safety systems, and the decommissioning of the indoor swimming pool and subsequent transformation of the space into a student lounge and
laundry area.
