University of Texas at San Antonio JPL Food Court Renovation

Jamail & Smith Construction has served as a JOC at the University of Texas at San Antonio for nearly two years. As the spring 2013 semester was coming to a close, the University called on us to renovate the JPL food court, which involved a partial demolition, abatement, new HVAC installations and the installation of LED lighting, among other activities.

The renovation was completed during spring finals time, as well as new student orientation. These events required our team to take extra care in reducing disturbances and ensuring a highly secure work site. The Jamail & Smith team worked nights and weekends to complete the project as scheduled without disrupting finals or orientation.

Our team was ready and able to conform the project schedule to meet the University’s unique educational needs. The project entailed the demolition of the pizza eatery and the installation of a new Papa Johns Pizzeria with new ovens, cabinets, countertops and flooring. Our team removed all cabinets and countertops at the sushi bar and smoothie bars and installed new ones. We removed all drywall and ceiling in order to demo the HVAC, and once the new HVAC was in place, we installed new walls and ceilings. The Jamail & Smith team also added new LED lighting throughout the food court and adjusted all fire protection sprinkler systems to meet NFPA 13 standards. This project was completed on time, under budget and to the complete satisfaction of UTSA.
