Sevierville Events Center & Parking Garage

This project involved the new construction of a 248,000 SF Convention Center and 271,000 SF, 900-vehicle Parking Garage. It features a 108,000 SF Exhibit Hall and a 20,000 SF Ballroom and includes various banquet and meeting rooms of different sizes that are able to be subdivided by operable walls, pre-function spaces, lounge spaces, administrative and support offices, indoor food court, and food preparation area. In addition, Denark constructed an adjacent 60,000 SF space for outdoor exhibits, featuring an outdoor food court, food preparation areas, and a fire pit for evening gatherings. The loading dock can hold 10 trucks simultaneously, with a generous marshaling area.

The project was constructed on a site that was almost entirely rock. To keep the schedule on track, our Team researched multiple ways to expedite 8.5 miles of trenching activities while protecting the Owner’s budget. We found a creative approach of customizing our bid form, leasing a trencher and ultimately saving the City nearly $285,000 and maintaining the overall schedule.
