Tampa, Fla.
The University of South Florida is planning to construct the 226,000-sf Marshall Center on its Tampa campus. As the hub of student activity, the four-story building will be located just north of the existing Marshall Center and will include a food court and sports grill, an oval-shaped theater, a ballroom, an Internet cafe, a lounge, and numerous meeting rooms. It will also include student activity, student government, and administrative spaces. The Beck Group is handling both the pre-construction and construction management of the project. The initial phase included the demolition of the SEC building and relocation of existing utilities. When the new Marshall Center is complete, the existing center will also be demolished.
