We are proud to share that T&L and Burwil Construction Company have been recognized for excellence in design and construction, receiving the Renovations & Additions Over $5 Million award at the 33rd Annual Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Tennessee – Tri-Cities Branch Awards Dinner. The award was presented during a celebratory evening held at the historic Carnegie Hotel in Johnson City, TN.
The award-winning project—the EO of Southwest Virginia Adaptive Reuse of Regional Childcare & Workforce Development Design/Build—represents a significant achievement in both design innovation and community impact. Transforming an existing facility into a vibrant, multifunctional space, this project was built to support critical regional needs in childcare and workforce development.
About the Project
This design/build project required careful planning and strategic reuse of an existing structure. With a focus on community enrichment and sustainability, the adaptive reuse approach allowed the team to modernize the facility while preserving key elements of the original building. The result is a highly functional, welcoming space that now serves as a vital hub for families and job seekers across Southwest Virginia.
Award Categories & Recognition
The AGC Tri-Cities Awards Dinner is a cornerstone event that honors the people, projects, and companies that make a lasting difference in the construction industry. This year, project awards were divided into two divisions and four subcategories:
-

T&L and Burwil’s project earned top honors in the Division II: Renovations & Additions Over $5M category—acknowledging not just the scale of the work, but the quality, innovation, and collaborative spirit that brought the vision to life.
Looking Ahead
Receiving this award is not only a great honor—it’s a reminder of the importance of building spaces that serve and uplift communities. We’re proud of what this project stands for, and we’re grateful to AGC of Tennessee for this meaningful recognition.
As we look to the future, T&L and Burwil remain committed to delivering excellence in every project, from initial concept to final build. Whether through adaptive reuse, new construction, or community-focused design, we’ll continue to create spaces that make a lasting impact.
