Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student has come full circle, as he now oversees renovations and updates to the on-campus housing where he once lived.<\/p>\n<p>Slade McGuire, a 2019 UTC construction management graduate, is currently the site superintendent of the Walker Apartments renovations. He is overseeing work that even includes the student apartment McGuire lived in as a UTC freshman.<\/p>\n<p>McGuire was an engineering major as a first-year student, but he took a break before returning to major in construction management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved engineering but I also loved the business side of it, and the construction world is kind of that marriage between the two,\u201d said McGuire, a superintendent for P&amp;C Construction. \u201cYou&#8217;ve got to coordinate and work with so many people. There&#8217;s a lot of organization and logistics, but you also get that tangible aspect of building something out of the ground and getting the problem solved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This line of work, he said, is frequently fast-paced and chaotic. McGuire is in charge of monitoring around 100 employees on site every day, when anything may go wrong at any time, causing a cascade effect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can be a week ahead of schedule and then in a matter of half a day, be a week behind schedule because it&#8217;s cyclical,\u201d said McGuire. \u201cOne trade does something, then there&#8217;s three people it affects right after them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGuire and the P&amp;C Construction crew began working on his very own college freshman headquarters as soon as the spring semester ended.<\/p>\n<p>McGuire said he was overcome with emotion as a flood of memories from his time as a student as he went inside the Walker Apartments. He said everything was the same, from the carpet to the cabinets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s cool, it&#8217;s full circle. To come back and give back to the University in the way that I&#8217;m giving back is in a way, a thank you,\u201d said McGuire.<\/p>\n<p>McGuire said this project also demonstrates UTC&#8217;s dedication to the construction management program and developing professionals capable of directing multimillion-dollar projects, including those on the UTC campus.<\/p>\n<p>The Walker Apartments improvements are part of a multi-year renovation and remodeling project at UTC South Campus housing, and McGuire will continue to be involved.<\/p>\n<p>Each summer, after months of planning, remodeling begins with tear-down, followed by rebuilding. The work begins the day students move out and ends the weekend before students return.<\/p>\n<p>McGuire said he values how far the UTC construction program has come since he was a student and that he believes the program enhances UTC&#8217;s status as a destination institution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve been fortunate that it [renovations] has gone smooth so far this year,\u201d said McGuire. \u201cNow I just want to continue across, and I want to build the next new building on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"880\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:9,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/blogarchive.utc.edu\\\/news\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/back-on-campus-walker-apartments-renovations-superintendent-returns-to-his-utc-freshman-roots\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:202990556}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 880px;
