Our Projects

As the university continues to grow and adapt, the campus landscape changes with it.
Explore our projects on campus through planning, design and construction. 

Our Vision

Innovation and collaboration are key components for a thriving university, and Facilities Services is honored to play a role in shaping the campus through design and construction at all levels.

Our team is committed to creating indoor and outdoor campus spaces that enhance connection, education, and belonging for all. Through hard work and intentional partnerships, we’re creating the campus of tomorrow with respect for the traditions of the “stately walls of old UT” that “rise glorious to the sight.”

The Agriculture and Natural Resources Building (ANRB)

The Agriculture & Natural Resources Building (ANRB) will be new construction totaling about 157,000 gross square feet over four stories. This facility will house teaching laboratories, research and public service labs, offices and new classrooms for the UT Institute of Agriculture (UTIA). The ANRB includes a pedestrian plaza and connections to existing buildings on all levels to create a seamless community environment. The building will be equipped with a technology infrastructure of the highest level.


Neyland Stadium Renovations

As the Tennessee Volunteer football team experienced another win over Oklahoma last week, we took the opportunity to learn more about how Facilities Services Design Project Manager Eric Ducote is contributing to “wins” with continued Neyland Stadium renovations. 

According to Tennessee Athletics, the construction project supports their goals of “modernizing the fan and visitor experience through enhanced amenities and diversified seating options, improving fan safety and security and aligning stadium features and aesthetics with campus architectural standards.” The project began in 2023 and will see new improvements each football season through fall of 2026.

Residence Halls

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, celebrated on March 6 the groundbreaking of two new residential communities (Poplar and Beacon Halls) that are expected to open in fall 2025. A third residence hall (Torchbearer) is schedule to open at a later date. The new residence halls will add approximately 1,950 beds to the university’s housing inventory, which currently has about 8,500 beds. They are a key component of the university’s strategic plan for enrollment growth and will help meet the needs of students who are seeking to stay on campus longer.
