LEE UNIVERSITY
Faculty and Student
Facilities
Cleveland, Tennessee Tri-Con has not only assisted
the university with their need
for additional on-campus resi-
dential facilities, but has been
heavily involved with the tran-
sition from Lee College to Lee
University and the expansion
and addition of numerous pro-
grams and degrees at Lee Uni-
versity.
One of the centers of student life
is the Paul Conn Student Union
building. The lower level of this
facility provides students and
faculty with the campus post of-
fice, the campus bookstore, the
commuter services area, and the
publications lab and offices.
The first floor features a large
student lounge with an adjacent
computer area, the campus
store, and a food court. The
second floor is dedicated to flex-
ible meeting room spaces and
individual offices.
The School of Music, located on
Parker Street, is the center for
the various music-related cur-
riculums on the campus.

Residential Projects
Cleveland, Tennessee
Bowdle O’Bannon Men’s Dormitory (130 Units)
Lee University and Tri-Con,
Inc. have a long standing rela-
tionship as Tri-Con, Inc. has
provided the construction ser-
vices for Lee University for two
decades.
Located only one block north of
the main campus, Tri-Con, Inc.
provides excellent client service
during the design and construc-
tion phases of the projects.
As the student population at the
university has grown during the
past decade, Tri-Con has as-
sisted the university in expand-
ing the dormitory and apart-
ment facilities along the main
boulevard, Parker Street. Each
facility has maintained the ex-
terior materials of the campus
and have been integrated into
the campus with beautifully
landscaped plazas, planting ar-
eas, and streetscapes.
Whether the projects have had
architectural services through
ArCon or the design services
have been subcontracted, Ray
Conn has worked directly with
the university administration to
develop the overall program as
well as the conceptual plans and
elevations to provide to the ar-
chitect.
Through this process, the de-
sign concepts and school image
have been maintained, while the
school has the advantage of an
integrated system in which the
architect and contractor are in
the same office. The benefits
to the Owner include better co-
ordination between the architect
and contractor, better cost esti-
mating and budget analysis
from the onset of design, and a
one-point contact firm that will
guide the Owner through a
project from inception to time
of occupancy.
