Last month, members of the Williams Company ESOP Committee had the chance to visit our Target Lake Nona project, where an exciting new build is nearing completion. While on site, they explored the progress up close and heard directly from our team about the successes of this project.
A huge shout out and sincere thank you to the entire project team for their hard work and dedication in bringing this project to life!
Experiences like this give our employee-owners a deeper appreciation for the skill, coordination, and teamwork that drive our projects forward. We’re excited to watch it all come together in the months ahead as we deliver yet another wonderful new Target store to the Orlando market!

Williams Company is proud to have constructed the high-performance Cross Prairie K-8! 🎉
We recently attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating a successful first school year in this outstanding new facility. The event brought together school officials, project partners, educators, and community members to recognize the strong collaboration that made it possible.
This new campus reflects a deep commitment to creating inspiring, functional, and high-performance learning environments where students can thrive. We’re truly honored to have built this project and look forward to the positive, lasting impact it will have on the community for years to come.
Williams Company recently celebrated the ribbon-cutting for the newly renovated Edmunds Center at Stetson University, marking the completion of a multi-phase project that enhances this iconic campus venue for today’s students, athletes, and visitors. As the long-standing home of Hatters basketball and volleyball, the facility received key upgrades to improve both function and experience, including new seating, renovated restrooms and team spaces, expanded concessions, refreshed finishes, upgraded audiovisual systems, a modernized main lobby, added administrative space, and a new elevator to provide full ADA accessibility. This revitalized space is ready to elevate the game-day and campus experience for years to come!

Williams Company recently celebrated the ribbon cutting of Hulley Tower at Stetson University—marking a meaningful milestone in the restoration of one of the campus’s most historic landmarks.
Symbolizing remembrance, resilience, and rebirth, Hulley Tower has been a cornerstone of Stetson’s campus since its original construction in 1934. After sustaining significant hurricane damage in 2004, the structure was dismantled, leaving only its base intact—now serving as the mausoleum for Stetson’s second President, Lincoln Hulley, and his wife, Eloise. In the years that followed, an alumni-led effort—motivated in part by the memory of the 1979 Innsbruck avalanche that claimed the lives of Scotty, Katy, and Dennis—helped bring new life to the tower, reinforcing its role as a place of remembrance.
Nearly two decades later, Williams Company is proud to have reconstructed Hulley Tower to its original 116-foot height. Today, Hulley stands once again as a symbol of reflection, further strengthened by a Memorial Plaque honoring Stetson students who have passed away since the University’s founding in 1883.
The project not only revived a cherished piece of campus history, but elevated it—both literally and symbolically—with the addition of a new 52-bell carillon. We’re honored to have a bell included in this collection—cast at the renowned Grassmayr Bell Foundry—helping bring a powerful, lasting voice to campus tradition.
We are proud to have partnered with Stetson University on this meaningful restoration—preserving history while ensuring Hulley Tower’s legacy endures for generations to come.
Please help us in congratulating Braden Rollins on his well-earned promotion to Project Manager I!
Since joining Williams Company in July 2023, Braden has steadily built a strong track record. He contributed to two successful projects at Stetson University—Elizabeth Hall and Chaudoin Hall—as well as our BioLife project. In June 2024, he joined the Target program, where he has truly found his stride, supporting six projects and proving himself a capable leader on Target Wildwood and the Titusville Remodel.
Braden’s impact goes beyond the jobsite. Whether it’s competing in the ABC Chili Cook-Off under Rick Dunn’s guidance, participating in our golfing events, leading the charge on March Madness, or taking home the win at our Cinco de Mayo ring toss, he shows up with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for being part of the Williams team. His strong work ethic, positive attitude, and commitment to our culture have earned him respect and fans both internally and externally alike.
Braden—congratulations on this next step. We’re excited to see you continue to grow and succeed in your new role!
