Maryville, Tennessee-based commercial design-build firm added new spaces to UTC\u2019s West Campus Housing building and renovated Crossroads Dining Hall in 2018<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>MARYVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 <\/strong>Aug. 24, 2018 \u2013 Leon Williams Contractors<\/a>, a Maryville-based commercial design-build firm, has completed two major projects at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga that will have positive impact on students and faculty starting in the fall 2018 semester.<\/p>\n

The company built three new dining options \u2013 Einstein Bros.\u00ae Bagels, Dippers southern fried and grilled chicken and a Provisions on Demand (P.O.D.) quick-serve store \u2013 \u00a0as part of the new flagship West Campus Housing building and completed a full renovation of Crossroads Dining Hall<\/a>, UTC\u2019s main student dining facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese two locations are central to the UTC campus, so it\u2019s essential that students and faculty have positive experiences there,\u201d said Tyler Forrest, associate vice chancellor for budget and finance at the university. \u201cWe also want these facilities to present the university\u2019s commitment to quality and excellence, which is something we share with Leon Williams Contractors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three new West Campus Housing dining concepts account for 6,500 square feet of the 231,000-square-foot West Campus Housing building. Renovation of the 13,000-square-foot Crossroads Dining Hall included replacing all the furniture, food stations and fixtures, adding a Mongolian grill concept and sushi machine, and installing a new state of the art kitchen exhaust system to reduce cooking smoke and smells outside the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are two very different projects, but what they have in common is that they\u2019re presenting a range of new opportunities for students at UTC,\u201d said Jimmy Hawkins, president of Leon Williams Contractors. \u201cWest Campus Housing was essentially a project within a project \u2013 we had to work closely with the building contractor to coordinate our work inside their construction site.\u00a0 Crossroads Dining Hall was similar in that there were two other extensive construction projects occurring on the floors above the space at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The West Campus Housing project and the Crossroads Dining Hall renovation were the 13th<\/sup> and 14th<\/sup> projects completed by Leon Williams Contractors at UTC. The projects took place between February and early August. UTC\u2019s fall semester started Aug. 20.<\/p>\n
