They have been providing in-class instruction and bringing elementary school students to their current BizTown immersion program since 1990. Since 2016, they have been planning and fundraising to expand this immersion experience to middle and high school students through the Finance Park program.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Finance Park space adds 7,600 SF of auditorium, career exploration, and learning stations for program volunteers, leaders, and students to gather and learn. Each learning station acts as its own storefront for a sponsoring business or institution to teach students how to create a budget based on their theoretical income. For example, some stations focus on insurance, education, housing, investments, and everyday items like groceries and clothing.<\/p>\r\n<p>The design of the new space caters to an older audience of students by providing comfortable furniture for lounging with small pops of color. The simple forms of the stations allow each institution to create their own experience within the space using graphic signage and tv monitors for display. Adding some warmth and to connect the spaces, wood elements were incorporated to create built-in seating and a dropped ceiling in the dining area for a more intimate environment.<\/p>","city":"Nashville, TN","7":"Nashville, TN","developer":"Junior Achievement","8":"Junior Achievement","slug":"junior-achievement-finance-park","9":"junior-achievement-finance-park","featured_image":"finance_cover.jpg","10":"finance_cover.jpg","active":"1","11":"1","featured_home":"0","12":"0","appearance":"1","13":"1","industry_id_LEGACY":"","14":"","expertise_id_LEGACY":"","15":"","service_ids":[],"industry_ids":[3]},{"id":"50","0":"50","sort":"32","1":"32","title":"Millworking to Mixed-Use","2":"Millworking to Mixed-Use","year":"2018","3":"2018","year_completed":"2020","4":"2020","subheading":"Sylvan Supply","5":"Sylvan Supply","content":"<p>Sylvan Supply is a conglomeration of 7 buildings with the earliest dating back to the early 1940s.&nbsp; It has a rich history as a mill, which produced axe handles, dowel rods, and many other supplies.

Due to the nature of the site being a brownfield, the site required extensive remediation. 2,500 CY of soil was remediated, the silos themselves are used to treat the stormwater onsite with a potential to retain 20,500 CF of stormwater inside the silos. The project is registered with the Tennessee Department of Environment &amp; Conservation program (TDEC).<\/p>\r\n<p>A former grain silo situated against a rail yard, the silos suffered from years of neglect and abandonment. Left to be overtaken by industrial refuse, derelict vehicles, and dense vegetation, the site fell into a state of disrepair.&nbsp;With the goals of supporting the revitalization efforts of the Nations, minimizing negative environmental impact through adaptive reuse, and creating a space that inspires placemaking, the Silos were transformed into a creative campus. Approaching this project with the notion that the most sustainable building is the one that is already built, the existing silos were cleaned up but remain largely unchanged. The components of this block combine to form a creative campus in this formerly industrial location that will be seen as a true amenity to this quickly changing West Nashville neighborhood.<\/p>\r\n<p>This project blends a once industrial overgrown corner into a thriving neighborhood.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>","city":"Nashville, TN","7":"Nashville, TN","developer":"Vintage South Development","8":"Vintage South Development","slug":"stocking-51---silos","9":"stocking-51---silos","featured_image":"silos_cover_image.jpg","10":"silos_cover_image.jpg","active":"1","11":"1","featured_home":"1","12":"1","appearance":"1","13":"1","industry_id_LEGACY":"","14":"","expertise_id_LEGACY":"","15":"","service_ids":[],"industry_ids":[2,4,5]},{"id":"20","0":"20","sort":"42","1":"42","title":"Epicenter of the Nations","2":"Epicenter of the Nations","year":"2017","3":"2017","year_completed":"2017, 2018, and In Progress","4":"2017, 2018, and In Progress","subheading":"Stocking 51","5":"Stocking 51","content":"<p>A gem of a hosiery mill built in the 1930s and used as a warehouse in a neighborhood known for its industrial nature, is joining many other underutilized area properties in redevelopment.

Finally, since the side of the units faced the main lot frontage on 12th Ave., the end units became dual-front door units with side porches as the second level that also served the purpose of creating pedestrian scale and a welcoming presence at the level of the public street.<\/p>","city":"Nashville, TN","7":"Nashville, TN","developer":"Lucas Chesnutt","8":"Lucas Chesnutt","slug":"1005-12th-avenue-south","9":"1005-12th-avenue-south","featured_image":"edgesouth-header.jpg","10":"edgesouth-header.jpg","active":"1","11":"1","featured_home":"0","12":"0","appearance":"1","13":"1","industry_id_LEGACY":"living","14":"living","expertise_id_LEGACY":"design","15":"design","service_ids":[],"industry_ids":[1]},{"id":"40","0":"40","sort":"52","1":"52","title":"Encouraging Community","2":"Encouraging Community","year":"2017","3":"2017","year_completed":"Completed","4":"Completed","subheading":"The Village at Glencliff","5":"The Village at Glencliff","content":"<p>Open Table Nashville is a &ldquo;non-profit, interfaith community that disrupts cycles of poverty, journeys with the marginalized and provides education about issues of homelessness.&rdquo; Centric began working with Open Table in 2015 to assist in bringing to fruition an idea of providing permanent, low income housing for the hundreds of individuals who habitually fall through the cracks of traditional homeless transitional housing programs.<\/p>\r\n<p>The intent of the Micro-home village is to help fill the 20,000+ unit shortage that Nashville currently has in accessible, low-income housing.

As a growing order of Dominican Sisters with a focus on education, the amazing ladies of St. Cecilia bring grace, love, and legacy to their students and to our city.<\/p>\r\n<p>From the incredible joyous spirit of the Sisters themselves, to the donors, designers, engineers, contractors and other vendors, we were all driven to exceed in renovating their breathtaking spaces and community.<\/p>\r\n<p>We more than doubled the size of the Motherhouse and provided much-needed room to expand, as St. Cecilia is one of the only growing Orders of Sisters in the United States. The completion of the project in 2006 represented a new chapter in the growth of the Order &ndash; one so successful that today it is once again running out of room.<\/p>\r\n<p><em>&ldquo;In 2006 following a celebration dinner marking the completion of the work at St. Cecilia Motherhouse, I walked out into the night air and knew that I had peaked in my career with this special project! &nbsp;Hopefully there will be many other noteworthy projects to come, but none shone as bright emotionally and spiritually as this one did for me. Knowing we have helped the Sisters to continue their mission in life gives me great satisfaction and sense of peace.&rdquo; <\/em>&mdash; Jim Thompson, Project Manager<\/p>","city":"Nashville, TN","7":"Nashville, TN","developer":"Dominican Sisters of the St. Cecilia Motherhouse & Convent","8":"Dominican Sisters of the St. Cecilia Motherhouse & Convent","slug":"saint-cecilia-motherhouse-and-convent","9":"saint-cecilia-motherhouse-and-convent","featured_image":"cecelia-header.jpg","10":"cecelia-header.jpg","active":"1","11":"1","featured_home":"0","12":"0","appearance":"1","13":"1","industry_id_LEGACY":"gathering","14":"gathering","expertise_id_LEGACY":"design","15":"design","service_ids":[],"industry_ids":[4]},{"id":"3","0":"3","sort":"88","1":"88","title":"Classical Masterpiece","2":"Classical Masterpiece","year":"1987","3":"1987","year_completed":"1987 \/ 2004 \/ 2012","4":"1987 \/ 2004 \/ 2012","subheading":"Tennessee State Capitol","5":"Tennessee State Capitol","content":"<p>It has rightly been called iconic.
