LaVergne First United Methodist Church

 


Location: LaVergne, Tennesse
Project Scope: New church addition and renovations

LaVergne First United Methodist Church is a multi-generational congregation having experienced immense growth over the last several years. It became unclear how best to serve their parishioners, so the church’s building committee sought the assistance of Dow Smith Company. Our team developed a master plan for the church, outlining phases of construction that included a new fellowship hall, sanctuary, as well as renovations of existing educational and administrative space. The project also included the conversion of the original fellowship hall into a foyer and welcome center for patrons. Despite the challenges associated with performing construction while the church remained open, our team was able to complete the project in nine months.

Building a Dental Office Is Not Your Average Construction Project

If you're thinking about building or renovating a dental office, you've probably already realized this isn't your typical construction project. Creating an amazing dental space involves so much more than just putting up walls and installing some fancy chairs. It's about crafting an environment where patients feel at ease (even when they're nervous about that root canal!) and where your team can work efficiently to provide top-notch care.

Our Purpose In Action At Smyrna Middle School

At Dow Smith Company, our purpose is to serve. That spirit of service shows up in the way we take care of each other, the exceptional and unique experiences we provide clients, and in our dedication to the community in which we live and work. We recently completed a bathroom restoration project at Smyrna Middle School (SMS). This project comes after we built an outdoor theater for Smyrna Elementary School in 2023 and a new field house for Smyrna High School in 2024.
