This landmark project is the new “front door” for TTU, attracting prospective students while serving current students and faculty. The design fosters an inviting environment for wellness by creating spaces that combine independent and group recreation to meet needs of all users. During Schematic Design, the original program came in more than $4.6 million over budget. Denark spent several weeks working closely with the design team to establish alternatives that could bring the costs down within the $45 million target.
“Denark was recently selected to construct our Engineering Building, a $57 million, 100,000 square foot 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.”
