The Pit at Wake Forest University
During the students' summer break, Frank L. Blum Construction Company completely renovated the dining facility commonly referred to as "the Pit". New food stations featuring fresh foods provide healthier choices to the student population and faculty. According to school officials, meal sales were up by 50% that first semester as a result of the dramatic transformation.

| I am pleased in looking back over my 22 years at Wake Forest to see how important Frank L. Blum Construction Company has been for us. Whenever the job is especially difficult and time intensive, both I and my Director of Facilities, Bill Sides, turn to your firm.
Examples of your excellent work abound; the gatehouses which protect the campus at night, which were done on an extremely tight time schedule; Kirby Wing of Calloway Center, perhaps our most beautiful new space; and the new and renovated Pit, which was delivered 2 1/2 weeks early and under budget. The amount your firm saved us on the Kirby Wing was sufficient to finish all of the planned-to-be-vacant space in the basement! Of course, your signature building is the Mary and Charlie Babcock Wing at Reynolda House, a superb structure built on schedule and on budget. It is a magnificant addition to the museum.
You and your people have exhibited the kind of professional, competent, and helpful spirit a client would want. I can and do recommend you most highly and without reservation. |
