Maryville construction firm will add modern finishes and enhanced flow to Jefferson City university\u2019s Stokely Dining Hall<\/em><\/p>\n

MARYVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 <\/strong>June 20, 2019 \u2013 Leon Williams Contractors<\/a>, a Maryville-based commercial construction firm, and Aramark Higher Education have announced a major renovation of Stokely Dining Hall at Carson-Newman University<\/a> in Jefferson City, Tennessee. The project will upgrade the university community\u2019s dining experience with improved flow, updated contemporary finishes and expanded food options and convenience.<\/p>\n

In addition to the improved layout and contemporary finishing, the renovation will add sliding barn doors that can be closed to convert the seating area into an attractive event space. Other additions will include an allergen-free station and expanded made-to-order stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis renovation will bring a completely new feel and function to Stokely Dining Hall,\u201d said Jimmy Hawkins, president of Leon Williams Contractors. \u201cWe updated the seating area in this same space several years ago, so it\u2019s satisfying to come back and work with Carson-Newman University and Aramark Higher Education again. This is more like a reinvention than a renovation. When students return to campus this fall, they\u2019ll find an entirely new dining space that meets modern expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leon Williams Contractors renovated the seating area at Stokely Dining Hall in 2010. The new project, which is already underway, will take place during the summer and is scheduled to be completed by the start of the fall semester.<\/p>\n

Around the country, Generation Z is driving new trends in college dining experiences. Students now want customizable meal options, plant-based choices and allergen-free alternatives. In addition, they expect on-the-go convenience, digital payment options and internationally inspired dishes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to offer students more variety, convenience and value,\u201d said Rebecca Greenep, dining director, Aramark\/Carson-Newman University. \u201cAll of the enhancements we are making to the dining program are based on student feedback, and are designed to provide students with even more opportunities to enjoy their meals, as well as their overall dining experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
