BE&K Building Group Wins Award for SYSCO Distribution Center

The BE&K Building has received another award - its fourth win to date - for SYSCO's Operations and Distribution Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Greenville-based project team, which delivered the project five weeks early, accepted the prestigious 2008 National Design-Build Award of Excellence at the Design-Build Institute of America's (DBIA) Annual Conference held earlier this month in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The US$36 million project took top honors in the category, "Private Sector Buildings Over $15 Million." SYSCO's 358,696 square-foot facility will be prominently featured in the December edition of DBIA's Design-Build DATELINE magazine.

SYSCO's Knoxville facility represents the BE&K Building Group's fifth major design-build distribution project for North America's food services industry giant in the southeast United States. Past projects include similar facilities in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
