In April 2013, the university held a groundbreaking ceremony for Correll Hall, named in honor of Terry alumnus and former GeorgiaPacific CEO Pete Correll and his wife, Ada Lee. The second phase was designed to accommodate the undergraduate programs and form a quadrangle with Correll Hall. A double-height commons will open onto a terrace and portico. Just below will be auditoriums and classrooms. Phase three will house faculty offices and research centers. DPR Hardin Construction is serving as the general contractor for the project, which has been under construction since December. In late June 2014, crews were pouring the second half of the building’s third floor. Formwork, slab reinforcing and electrical/plumbing slab rough-in for the fourth floor also has been taking place during the summer, along with waterproofing of the very large foundation wall and backfill of the wall. Reshores for form work are being installed, along with exterior cold-formed metal framing and utility tie-in at the adjacent street for primary power, chilled water, hot water, sanitary and storm water connections. Additionally, an adjacent fraternity house located in the footprint of phase II is being torn down. According to DPR Hardin project manager Kyle Taylor, the demolition of the existing parking lot and minor clearing of the site have already been performed, along with mass excavation to slab-on-grade level. “Two hundred ten auger-cast piles have been installed to support the foundations,” Taylor said. “Approximately 11,000 linear feet of piles have also been installed.” Spread footings and wall footings have been installed DPR Hardin Construction photo over piles.
