CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. — Morgan Li, a custom manufacturer offering innovative fixtures, furniture and graphics solutions, is partnering with Mary Cook Associates (MCA), a nationally recognized interior design firm, to "revolutionize student housing furnishings with the launch of the 'Made-To-Spec' program."

 This innovative collaboration provides purpose-built, custom student housing furniture solutions designed for style, impact, and durability, all while fitting within unique budgets and spaces.

Unlike off-the-shelf options, the Made-To-Spec program’s furnishings are designed by MCA and built by Morgan Li to exact client specifications. MCA's expert designers work closely with clients to understand their vision and design custom furniture pieces that meet their specific needs and aesthetic preferences. Morgan Li then leverages its decades of manufacturing expertise to bring these designs to life, crafting high-quality, durable pieces that stand up to the wear and tear of student living.

Mary Cook Associates in announcing the new student housing furniture program said the furnishings are "unlike anything you've seen before."

"You won't find our designs in a catalog or on other campuses," the company said in a LinkedIn post. "And, if you think built to spec is going to cost more, think again. Our built to spec furnishings expertly fit your unique budget and space. Designed for style, impact, and durability, you can bank on more leases, more renewals, more value."
