Multiple areas on campus will be affected by planned construction projects over the next few years. These projects are designed both to enhance the on-campus experience for students, staff, and faculty members, and to advance UTK’s strategic vision. Understandably, major construction projects can cause some anxiety. Multiple teams are here to support the offices and units that will be affected by construction.
The Haslam College of Business seeks to construct a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a model to promote collaboration, attract top talent, and address the continued growth in fields of study throughout HCB. The new facility will serve students, faculty, and staff, and help UTK continue to enhancing its nationally ranked programs.
Construction requires the demolition of Dunford, Greve and Henson Halls. Relocation spaces have been idenfied for all academic and administrative units in these buildings, and some units have already moved.
View timeline and updates on relocation: Please note timelines are subject to change.
How the relocation process works
- When buildings are affected by construction, representatives of the University Space Committee meet department and unit leaders to understand their space needs and identify potential new space for a unit. Departments and offices affected by construction are given ample notice prior to relocation and opportunities to provide input on their space needs.
- After potential new space has been identified, the Space Committee will review the proposed space assignment to ensure that the assignment advances university-wide strategic objectives.
- Once the Space Committee approves a unit’s relocation to new space, the Space Manager and Campus Operations will work directly with the unit to facilitate relocation by providing detailed instructions on the process.
