UW Student Housing
project description
Back in 2016, UW decided to build new dorms for the North Campus which was the building of Madrona Hall and the demolition of the McCarty Hall and rebuild of it. W.G. Clark was the General Contractor on this project. Both buildings have 571 units that consist of 1-3 undergraduate students per unit. The buildings will also have lounges, small group study spaces, group kitchens and dining areas, music practice rooms, laundry, and storage spaces.
W.G. Clark awarded Scott Coatings the UW Student Housing project painter. This was Scott Coatings’ first major project with W.G. Clark. Scott Coatings’ scope consisted of painting the walls, ceilings, doors, frames, and exterior water repellants. The biggest challenge on this project was running these jobs simultaneously but we were able to push through and get it done. Great project success and W.G. Clark was very happy with the outcome of this project.
