Demolition, site work and addition to an educational facility in Lexington, Kentucky. Completed plans call for the addition of a educational facility.

Beyond the building addition, the improvements will also consist of new plaza spaces, concrete curbs, and walks. No new pavement areas are proposed as part of this project. It is expected the new foundation system for the building addition will be rock bearing. The existing foundation system for the UK Gatton College of Business & Economics is comprised of drilled shafts and shallow spread footings bearing on bedrock. The preliminary maximum column load is supplied as 500 kips, while the maximum continuous foundation load is supplied as 14 kips per lineal foot. The existing Matthews Building will be demolished as part of the proposed building expansion project, but the existing Burr oak tree, located on the southwest corner of the existing Gatton College facility, is to remain and is of great importance to the University.
