Mary Cook Associates, Morgan Li Launch Furniture Solution for Student Housing Developments

Chicago — Commercial interiors firm Mary Cook Associates (MCA) and furniture manufacturer Morgan Li have launched ‘Built to Spec,’ a furniture solution for student housing developments. The collaboration brings together MCA’s expertise in student housing interiors with Morgan Li’s large-scale production capability to deliver in-unit furnishings that are designed for how today’s students live, sleep, study, work and play. ‘Built to Spec’ includes furniture for living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms with the option of personalization, allowing developers to further display their brand identity within their project’s interiors. The partnership will debut today at the InterFace Student Housing conference in Austin, Texas. “With our robust portfolio of student housing work, we know firsthand how significant the quality, style and functionality of furnishings can be in communicating a project’s unique brand and strengthening market position,” says Mary Cook, founder and president of Chicago-based MCA. “From that experience, we identified an unmet demand to provide developers with student unit furniture solutions that reflect the specific needs and character of their property.”
