Appointment setting for commercial contractors in Knoxville

A public-private district between Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boling Arena on the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville, with about 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, a 24-story condo-hotel, restaurants, two plazas and a new garage replacing the G10 garage.

The garage is due August 2027, the district early 2028 and the tower 2029, so paving, electrical and LED display power come first, then hotel mechanical, fire protection and interior finishes, and finally plaza landscaping and event cleaning.

A 214,000-square-foot advanced nuclear fuel fabrication plant in Oak Ridge (Anderson County) built by Clark Construction Group, with a graphite matrix powder building and other support facilities still to come.

The project has moved from structure to interior buildout and equipment installation, which is the phase where mechanical, electrical, fire protection and specialty flooring subcontractors do most of their work.

A five-story, 243,800-square-foot business school building on the University of Tennessee's Knoxville campus with 18 classrooms, research labs, two 300-seat auditoriums and food service.

A grid-connected, 50-megawatt advanced reactor demonstration plant in Oak Ridge (Roane County) built by Kairos Power, with Samsung C&T agreeing in September 2026 to provide up to $100 million and join the engineering, procurement and construction team.

Samsung C&T's initial focus is power-generation systems and balance of plant, which is where electrical, mechanical and fire protection subcontractors find most of the non-nuclear scope, along with support buildings and site paving.

A City of Knoxville project in the historic Burlington Center in East Knoxville: a new $8.7 million two-bay firehouse plus a $10.3 million streetscape phase.

After KUB utility work, the streetscape phase calls for road repaving, new sidewalks, street lighting and tree plantings through early 2027, while the firehouse moves from masonry block to steel erection and the rest of the building.

Maryville City Schools is expanding Sam Houston Elementary in Maryville (Blount County) with a new front addition, a new and larger gymnasium and a larger library, raising capacity from about 480 to 640 students.

The addition covers the whole front of the building and moves the student drop-off circle, which was to be rebuilt before the 2026 school year, so site paving comes first, followed by the addition's shell, roof and interiors during the school year.
