Hamilton County Schools has awarded a $29 million contract for the renovation of Soddy Daisy Middle School.
J and J Contractors, a Chattanooga-based builder, is set to complete construction on the 60-year-old campus by 2029. The project will upgrade existing facilities while adding a new gymnasium.
“We’re honored to partner with the school and community on such a meaningful project,” Aaron Pack, project manager at J and J, said in a press release. “Our team is committed to delivering a safe, efficient and high-quality project that will serve students for generations to come.”

The school district unveiled a timeline for the aging middle school in December.
