Nashville, Tennessee Renovation Size: 60,000 SF Cost: $4.1MCompleted: Fall 2012
The first phase of Nashville State's new Southeast Campus began the tranformation of the former Dillard's store in the Hickory Hill Mall. This fast-track project had demolition occurring the day after the building was purchased. The initial 60,000 square-foot renovation included new classrooms, laboratories and a campus bookstore and was completed, with the help of Southland Constructors, in just 3.5 months--right on time for the fall 2012 semester. Phase 2 added another 45,000 square feet, but that wasn't enough to meet the high demand for classroom space in Middle Tennessee. Phase 3, a 50,000 square-foot renovation of the second floor, added much needed general classroom space, student lounge areas, and collaborative learning "nooks", accessed by a centralized circulation stair. The growing facility has received rave reviews from both NSCC students and the administration.
We are currently hard at work on additions at Acadia's Mirror Lake Reovery Center in Burn, Tennessee.
