Lopez Battalion Reporter The $7 million renovation and tower addition of the Rama da Inn on University Drive and Texas Avenue is expected to be ready for occupancy July 15. “We will only open the first 11 floors then,” Joe Ferreri, owner and contractor of the project, said. Those 11 floors will be guest rooms; the remaining six floors of the 17-story structure will be condominiums. Ferreri will live in the penthouse on the top floor. Randy Goldsmith, construc tion manager of the project, said all the amenities in the rooms have received a five-star rating, which means the hotel is classi fied as a first-class structure. “The rooms have synthetic TS-O Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired BRYAN 216 N.

The condominiums also will be fully equipped and can be furnished if the purchaser de sires. The floor plans in all the guest rooms will be identical, but the condominiums will have five different floor plans — the largest covering 2,400 square feet. When completed, the tower will stand 173 feet high, will cov er about 145,000 square feet of space, and will have a 13,000- square-foot glass-enclosed swimming pool. The tower also will be well- equipped with fire protection devices. “The city of College Station has as stringent a fire safety code as any city in Texas,” Goldsmith said. “All of these requirements have the maximum insurance rating you can get for a high-rise structure,” he added. Fire marshall Harry Davis said the strict requirements will make the tower one of the safest structures in the area. “We want to make it as safe as possible for people to get out if the building is on fire,” he said. Some of the fire-protection devices to be installed in the tow er include a complete sprinkler system throughout the building, smoke detection devices in every room, two charged fire hoses on each floor, fire-retardant doors, drapes and beds, fire resistant sheet rock, fire resistant ceiling tiles and pressurized stairwells. photo by Todd Woodard Construction continues on the 17-story structure will contain 10 Ramada Inn at the corner of Texas floors of guest rooms, five floors of Avenue and University Drive.
