Rockford constructed the 10-story, 194-room Graduate Hotel just 10 minutes from Michigan State University’s Spartan Stadium. It boasts elements inspired by the campus and the state, an inviting lobby and a rooftop bar with a view of the MSU campus. The Graduate Hotel also includes a fitness room, coffee bar, meeting and event space, and roof-level entertainment featuring a patio/bar/restaurant. The hotel offers two presidential suites, king rooms, double queen rooms and suites for families with children.
As the project progressed, Rockford was quick to problem-solve. The local utility company needed to reroute many poles and overhead power lines and relocate them underground. Rockford performed site excavation to expedite the process and remain on schedule. Additionally, with an adjacent project also under construction, the space between project sites was tight. Our team devised an engineered tie-off solution that held the cranes in place when out of service, ensuring they wouldn’t collide due to weather conditions.
