Nor-Well is currently working on the first and second phases of the new $110M Hard Rock Casino located in Bristol, VA (Virginia's first casino).  Nor-Well has been working on all of the underground plumbing at the Casino and will be working on ductwork in the Casino's Hotel.

Times News - "The casino is located at 500 Gate City Highway, the former site of the Bristol Mall. Construction for the hotel and resort is already becoming visible from the road, a sign of the progress for many Bristol visitors and residents."

"The former mall property is set to be turned into an official Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol location with two hotel towers, a pool, a live music space, restaurants, shops, and a convention center. The first phase of the hotel is set to include 303 hotel rooms, a spa, a gym, and an indoor and outdoor pool."

“The construction at the Hard Rock Resort & Casino in Bristol is moving fast, with a shell of a large building visible from the road,” said Neal Osborne, mayor of Bristol, Virginia. “This is incredibly exciting for our city. Over the past year or so, we’ve seen the tremendous positive impact Hard Rock has had on Bristol, from a spike in tourism to increased tax revenues for the entire region, to philanthropic contributions to area nonprofits.”

"The project is being contracted and managed by TN Ward Company and BurWil Construction. TN Ward Company, based out of Pennsylvania, has worked on other Hard Rock Casino projects. The company most recently celebrated the grand opening of the Hard Rock Casino in Gary, Indiana, in May 2021. BurWil Construction has worked on projects such as the newly renovated ETSU D.P. Culp Center and the Pinnacle at Bristol."

Nor-Well Company is currently performing the plumbing work at the new $88.4M Sullivan County Jail Addition.  The 560-bed expansion is set to be complete and operational by early 2025.

Times News - "The Sullivan County Jail is more than halfway completed and on track to be open by its estimated completion date."

“We’re about at the 50% point of what’s going in the building is already in there,” Doug Smith, construction manager for Codell Construction, said. “Closer to 60%.”

Smith said upcoming construction includes a connector between the old Sullivan County Jail and the new jail, which will also house some administrative offices, a kitchen, and a laundry room, as well as the new jail’s sally port."

Nor-Well is beginning work on the new Mountain Commerce Bank Memory Gardens location.  Construction of the two-story, full-service banking facility at 109 Memory Gardens Road is anticipated to open in mid-2024.   The new building will feature a touch-screen technology station for account access, along with traditional teller stations and a night depository. The center will serve the financial needs of all MCB clients—individual, professional, small business, and commercial—offering a wide range of transactional and deposit products and services, in addition to personal and business loans, and individual investment services. 

Nor-Well is beginning work on the comprehensive renovation of Wey Hall at Appalachian State University.

 Wey Hall, which houses the Department of Art, was built in 1976 and has never been renovated. It lacks fire suppression and sprinkler systems. Other major building systems are also reaching the end of their useful lives, such as plumbing, elevators, electrical, heating/cooling, and ventilation systems. Ventilation is particularly important in this building, given that students work in metal work and darkroom processes that produce fumes.

Originally, the university planned to renovate the building’s third floor only. In May 2018, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors authorized the university to spend up to $200,000 for advance planning for this third-floor renovation. During the course of planning, it became apparent that a comprehensive, full-building modernization would be required.

Nor-Well is beginning work on the James H Quillen VA Medical Center Building 200 Wing D2 renovation for isolation.  The renovation will be of approximately 12,000 sf of existing space on the Second Floor D-Wing (D2) of Building 200. This space was originally constructed as a patient ward in 1980 and is currently in use as an administrative space. The space is being planned to be renovated back into healthcare occupancy as an isolation ward. The new isolation ward is housing twelve patients within universal rooms to allow for critical, step-down, and acute care to be delivered in the same room. All patient rooms are required to be designed as Isolation Rooms with anterooms. This will require the demolition of the entire existing space with care to maintain an existing duct that passes through the project area serving other spaces
