More Than a New Facility: Building Hartsville’s Workforce with the Opening of TCAT

The opening of the new Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) Hartsville marks more than the completion of a new educational facility. It represents a significant investment in the students, employers, and communities that will shape the future of the region.

At 69,687 square feet, the new multi-disciplinary facility gives TCAT Hartsville expanded space to provide hands-on education and technical training for students preparing to enter today’s workforce. Reeves Young is proud to have served as the builder for a project that will help create new opportunities for students while supporting the workforce needs of the community for years to come.

More Than a New Facility

A building like TCAT Hartsville is designed to serve a purpose well beyond its walls.

As industries evolve and workforce needs continue to change, access to quality technical education becomes increasingly important. Facilities like this give students the opportunity to develop practical skills and prepare for careers while helping connect education with the needs of local employers.

The impact of that investment will extend far beyond the students who walk through the doors today. Each graduate who gains new skills, enters a career, or contributes to the local workforce becomes part of the larger story this facility was built to support.

Built for What’s Next

Projects that invest in education and workforce development are ultimately investments in a community’s future.

Bringing TCAT Hartsville’s new facility to life required collaboration between the college, design and construction teams, trade partners, state and local leaders, and the many people who worked together throughout the project. Every milestone represented another step toward creating a place where students can learn, train, and prepare for what comes next.

Reeves Young is proud to have been part of that effort and to see the doors officially open. While construction may be complete, the real work this building was designed to support is just beginning.

For years to come, TCAT Hartsville will help students build skills, employers build their workforce, and the community build toward a stronger future.

That’s the lasting impact of Building Better Livelihoods.

Building Atlanta for the World Stage

In 2026, hundreds of thousands of visitors will make their way to Atlanta as the city takes its place on one of the world’s largest stages for the FIFA World Cup. While the matches will be at the center of the excitement, the experience visitors have throughout the city will be shaped by much more than what happens inside the stadium.

From the places they gather to the ways they move throughout the city, years of planning, construction, and infrastructure investment have helped prepare Atlanta for moments like this one. Reeves Young is proud to have played a role in many of the projects that will be part of that experience.

Our work can be seen across the region, including projects at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Home Depot Backyard, Centennial Olympic Park, the Atlanta BeltLine, MARTA, and other infrastructure throughout Metro Atlanta.

Each project serves a different purpose, but together they help create the connected, welcoming city that visitors will experience when they arrive in Atlanta.

More Than a Moment

The World Cup may bring a new level of attention to Atlanta, but these projects weren’t built for a single event.

Transportation infrastructure helps people move through the city every day. Parks and public spaces create places for communities to gather. Trails connect neighborhoods. Stadium and entertainment spaces bring people together. Water and other essential infrastructure support the continued growth happening throughout the region.

Long after the final World Cup match is played, these facilities and infrastructure improvements will continue serving the people who live, work, and visit here.

That’s what makes the opportunity to look back at our work throughout Atlanta particularly meaningful. A project completed years ago can become part of a much bigger story as a city grows and prepares for opportunities no one could fully anticipate when construction first began.

Built One Project at a Time

Major moments for a city don’t happen overnight, and neither do the projects that make them possible.

Behind every finished facility are years of planning, problem-solving, coordination, early mornings, long days, and teams working through challenges one decision at a time. Every project represents the work of owners, designers, trade partners, construction teams, and community partners working toward a shared goal.

The projects that will help shape Atlanta’s World Cup experience were built the same way: one decision, one milestone, and one challenge at a time.

As visitors from around the world experience Atlanta in 2026, we’re proud to know that the work of Reeves Young’s teams can be found throughout the city they’ll be exploring.

More importantly, we’re proud that the same work will continue serving our neighbors and communities for years after the world goes home.

That’s the lasting impact of Building Better Livelihoods.
