After being closed by order of the State Fire Marshall and sitting empty for several years, the Kingston Tower Apartment building, now known as The Tower at Morgan Hill, is in the process of receiving an extensive renovation to modernize the facility for use as housing for students of the University of Tennessee. Upon completion, the project is set to include 240 apartment units, an indoor theater, an exercise room, a gathering/ recreational multi-use space, along with study and computer rooms. The work included an exterior facade upgrade and window replacement, the total reconstruction of the lobby level, the total refinishing of the 20 apartment floors, and major upgrades to the building utilities, its garage, and swimming pool. Renovations are expected to be completed during the summer of 2010.
