Turner Construction – Great Wolf Lodge

TURNER CO

Turner Constructions learned from its past work with Great Wolf Lodge to improve the client’s latest resort.

By Tim O’Connor

In the tourism business, success is seasonal. It’s critical to be up and running during summer breaks and holidays when families are more likely to vacation. This is why the new Great Wolf Lodge under construction in LaGrange, Ga., about 60 miles south of Atlanta, is so keen on being open by June 2018 in time for summer visitors. Any delays could mean losing the entire prime travel season.

To meet that deadline, the resort company needed a construction manager with experience and the capability to work efficiently. Turner Construction was the clear choice because the company had the knowledge and expertise in place to accelerate work on the project.

Further, because Turner has worked with Great Wolf Lodge before, the company knew Great Wolf Lodge to be an educated client that could make decisions quickly. “Us being familiar with Great Wolf as a client and understanding their decision-making gives us the comfort to cut our schedule,” Turner Account Executive A.J. Bargoti says.

CORE Construction – Pennington Student Achievement Center

Institutions of higher learning such as the University of Nevada, Reno, (UNR) provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life, but when it comes to building successful construction projects on campus there’s no room for learning on the job. That’s why CORE Construction was tapped to build the latest addition to the UNR campus, the William N. Pennington Student Achievement Center.

For many years, CORE Construction has been recognized as a leader in the construction of education projects, including multiple successful projects on college and university campuses across the country. Nevada Vice President Jim Miller says the company’s experience and expertise in the higher education sector have been contributing factors to the success of the Pennington project from the very beginning, and they continue to play a crucial role as the company prepares to finish the project by early 2016.
