Earlier this year, Evans completed
two retail projects. Dick
VanDyke Appliance World
opened its new 12,000 square
foot showroom and ofces next
to the cinemas on West Wabash
Avenue. Working with Steckel
Parker Architects and owners
Dennis & Lynn Rieken along with
their senior vice president John
Sheppard was a pleasure. Pleaseconsider Dick VanDyke for all of
your appliance purchases.
We also completed a new retail
store for CarpetWeavers.
Owner Mark Weaver contracted
with Evans to build their new
20,000sf warehouse and
showroom for their ooring andfurniture products. The new
store, located at Springeld’s
Prairie Crossing shopping area,
opened for business in August.
Evans and CarpetWeavers have
worked together on hundreds of
projects, and we were honored
to build their new facility. Check
out what they have to offer!
Later this year, Evans will
complete an $8 million addition
and renovation to the Prairie
Capitol Convention Center. The
renovations include upgraded
nishes to the existing lobby
area and lower level meeting
rooms. The project also includes
22,000sf of additional space for
new restroom facilities, catering
area, meeting space, outdoor
patio and expanded lobby area.
The improvements are sure to
bring additional events to ourcity. We’ve enjoyed working with
general manager Brian Oaks and
the PCCC Board.
