Frist Center

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts contains three large galleries, a kitchen and café, a multimedia auditorium, restored art deco lobby, and state-of-the-art security systems. The exterior scope of work includes a landscaped courtyard with ornamental trellis, a grand marble-flanked monumental stairway, and two parking lots. As a part of our construction work we removed six structural columns from the second floor and supported the third-floor columns with new steel framing. We restored more than 25,000 square feet of wood block floors, existing terrazzo floors, ornamental aluminum grillwork and marble paneling. The museum-quality finishes are testimony to the quality craftsmanship that went into every detail.

Historical renovation of the famous Ryman Auditorium (home of the Grand Ole Opry) construction involved new four-story structures back stage for dressing rooms, fly gallery, lighting and sound systems, restoration of pews, an addition for concessions, retail and restrooms.
