Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, just completed Vanderbilt Barnard residential college, a new facility with space for academic needs, along with housing for 340 students, apartments for a faculty member and residential area coordinator, a large dining area, and a huge kitchen. Given Lee Company’s roots in refrigeration, an area few tradesmen specialize in today, the team was called on to engineer and install the kitchen for Vanderbilt Barnard. With a strict timeline, the Lee Company team ensured that the “cool” kitchen was ready to go for incoming students in 2018. With work complete, Lee Company scored an A+!
