The Tennessee Recycling Coalition recently awarded Skanska its 2018 Government Recycler of the Year Award for the project team’s successful waste diversion program during the historic renovation of the Cordell Hull State Office Building.
According to the contractor, the 1950s-era building was on the chopping block for demolition as its original form was considered potentially obsolete. The renovation project, designed by Nashville-based Centric Architecture, salvaged the historic building, converting it into the new home of the Tennessee Legislature.
