We’re proud to have completed work on the future site of Nashville’s Youth Campus for Empowerment. Coming in at over 2,200 tons of steel , this project was an exciting opportunity for Cooper Steel to work near downtown Nashville with our partners at Sentry Steel. The project, set for completion in Fall 2025, will house resources and agencies providing immediate services for local families in need, including pre-trial housing for justice-involved youth, a safe exchange facility for custodial visitations, and more.
