LGA, working in partnership with Architect-of-Record MTa, is excited to announce the groundbreaking of Soddy Daisy Middle School (SDMS) Additions & Renovations, the first project in a $260 million schools facility initiative.

Students and staff at SDMS will experience the positive transformation of their school as the work occurs in a phased approach of demolition, new construction, and renovation through the calendar year.

The project includes a new administration wing with secure entry vestibule and covered pick up area, a new gymnasium, a food service expansion, a new covered bus drop off area, a new two-story classroom wing to supplant outdated educational spaces and portable classrooms, and several other site and building systems improvements.

LGA is working with Cempa Community Care in Chattanooga to improve their facilities and expand their presence downtown. Our current renovation of a 1960's building includes primary and infectious disease care clinics, a dental clinic, a pharmacy, and shell space for expansion.

This unique building includes a daylit, covered courtyard transformed to provide a pleasant outdoor retreat as well as improved wayfinding and circulation between floors. Cempa’s branding is layered through the project beginning with the facade feature designed to give the Cempa campus a new face and identity.
