LANCASTER, Pa., Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tindall Corporation, one of the largest precast concrete manufacturers in North America, recently announced their Virginia Division has been awarded the contract for James Madison University's Union Bank & Trust Center, a new facility designed to enhance the student-athlete and fan experience.

The Union Bank & Trust Center's architectural design was developed by Mosely Architects and Populous. S.B. Ballard serves as the general construction manager. The facility will be located on the East Campus on the corner of Carrier Drive and University Boulevard.
Union Bank & Trust was awarded naming rights for $2.25 million. The partnership represents the largest corporate naming agreement in university history and helped JMU meet a $12 million fundraising goal to move forward with construction.
