Facilities Services

The University of Tennessee is on the rise, thanks in part to the dedicated hard work of Facilities Services. From the big game to midterms, see how we help make it all happen.

I am incredibly proud to lead the dedicated team of professionals within the Facilities Services Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Their relentless dedication ensures that our facilities operate seamlessly around the clock, often without the recognition they truly deserve. From planning, design, and construction to landscape and building maintenance, repairs, and cleaning, they have a hand in every aspect of the campus, playing a crucial role in supporting its mission. They truly exemplify the Volunteer spirit of service and leadership.”
