<\/a>The precast subfloor was installed in late January for the 14,600 square foot addition to Ajax Turner Senior Center. The $2.7 million project is expected to be completed in July.<\/p><\/div>\n
The project is 60 percent complete and is expected to be finished in July 2017, City Projects Manager Hatem Shah said Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud of this project, which is needed to better serve Clarksville\u2019s senior citizens,\u201d Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan said. \u201cA larger facility will allow us to serve more citizens, and this will expand Ajax Turner\u2019s ability to provide nutrition and activities that help keep our seniors active, healthy and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anita Atchley, executive director of Ajax Turner, said when ground was broken on the addition in August that the center serves an average of 220 seniors a day, and demand for services is soaring.<\/p>\n
The capital project, known as Phase 1 & 2, was approved by the City Council in July 2015. Designed by Violette Architecture of Clarksville, the expansion will include a large meeting room that will hold 60 people; a smaller meeting room for 20 people; a classroom; two crafts rooms; a nurse\u2019s station and three offices. A&K Construction, Paducah, KY, submitted the lowest bid and was awarded the project.<\/p>\n
Phase 1 of the project \u2013 renovation of four restrooms \u2013 has already been completed under a separate contract, and Phase 3 is being designed to add additional parking spaces, internal modification and renovation, and safety improvements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
