LifePoint Church Smyrna

 


Owner: LifePoint Church
Location: 506 Legacy Drive, Smyrna, Tennessee
Project Scope: Lobby and restroom renovation
Project Delivery: Design-Build

This design-build renovation included upgrading the restrooms adjacent to the main worship auditorium and improving the church’s main lobby. Dow Smith Company has performed many projects for LifePoint Church—at all three Smyrna, Riverdale, and Stewarts Creek campuses—so we were delighted to be invited back to tackle this project.

The upgrades included new high-end epoxy floors in the restrooms and polished concrete in the lobby. Three-phase power grinders were used to remove years of residue and glue from the flooring. The interior design was led by Paul Biggers of nFusion Design Studio of Nashville and the church, with the help of Project Manager Joey Rhyne.

The main challenges over the course of the seven-week project included designing upgrades that would meet the client’s budget and maintaining public use of the lobby for the church’s 2,000 worshippers while it was under construction. Superintendent Gary Grisham ensured that twice each week, Dow Smith crews prepped, cleaned and secured the site so it was safe for the LifePoint staff and congregation.

We know you’re excited to start building, but rushing to the ground-breaking ceremony before you’re ready will catch up with you later. It’s critical in any project to get all of your ducks in a row.

“It’s a Proud Day for Rutherford County”: Journey Home Breaks Ground On New Facility

Since 2006, The Journey Home has been a resource for unhoused and disadvantaged people in Rutherford County. Several years ago, the organization’s leaders recognized that its current facility would not be able to serve the future needs of our community and they began dreaming bigger.

This week, Journey Home team members and community leaders broke ground of a two-story, 20,000-square-foot facility in Murfreesboro. Dow Smith Company is honored to be the design-builder for the project.
