Renovations to Peck Hall on the MTSU campus was a Tennessee Board of Regents project that involved the reworking of a 1960s classroom building into office and meeting space for the Sociology Department of MTSU. Exterior wall issues, caused by thermal movement, were also addressed as part of the renovation.  The management of costs and schedules were a priority as typically required for TBR and academic projects.

Design development, development of construction documents and construction schedules required close coordination between design teams, construction team and administration to meet critical deadlines driven by class schedules and the need to open the department for the fall semester. Design services included project program development, architectural design and furniture procurement and layout.

The renovations were completed in the fall of 2008 for $388,000 construction cost.
