The DWM Construction & Renovation Division was awarded the renovation of the Florida Gulf Coast University Barnes & Noble College Bookstore project in May of 2021. Unexpectedly this project was split into (2) phases right before kick-off, going from a 3-week project to an 8-week project due to delays in the permitting process. DWM had to juggle various changes in the scope of work to accommodate the phasing schedule. The project itself consisted of demolition of several partition walls, construction of new partition walls, all-new fixtures, millwork, finishes, lighting, and decorative suspended ceiling fixtures.
