Maryville, Tennessee-based commercial design-build firm transforms former bank branch building into modern office space for business technology company

MARYVILLE, Tenn. – April 29, 2019 – Leon Williams Contractors, a Maryville-based commercial construction firm, has completed renovations on a former bank branch building near downtown Maryville for Allevia Technology, a local computer repair and business IT company.

The renovation project adapted an outdated midcentury building into a 2,700-square-foot modern, open-design office space with a fluid work environment for Allevia’s 10-person staff. The design incorporates the covered drive-thru into the building as a combined tech room and office. The additional space also provides more storage capacity for hardware, so customers can have quicker service.

“This space looks completely different than it did six months ago,” said Allevia Technology owner Stefan Wilson. “Leon Williams Contractors understood exactly what we were looking for: a clean, contemporary space we can call our own that will also give us room to grow. And this project is an investment in the area we call home. We’re contributing to the revitalization of central Maryville, and the money we invested is staying right here in Blount County.”

The building is located at 1819 E. Broadway, near downtown Maryville and convenient to Interstate I-140, US 129 and US 321. It is part of a business corridor that is currently undergoing a commercial revival.

“Stefan had a clear vision for the building and gave us the chance to do some new things,” said Jimmy Hawkins, president of Leon Williams Contractors. “For one thing, we’d never converted a bank drive-thru into an office before. More importantly, it was an opportunity to take an old, undervalued space and create something new and modern out of it instead of just tearing it down. That’s good for the community as a whole.”
