UT will soon begin construction on a $129 million, 228,000-square-foot building that will provide state-of-the-art research and classroom facilities for engineering students and faculty.

The new building will be located on the east side of campus near Neyland Stadium and will host a number of university programs.

An example of a public-private partnership that benefits the people of Tennessee, the project is funded with $90 million provided by the state, nearly $29 million from university sources, and $10 million from private donors as part of the university’s Join the Journey campaign.

The new building will significantly enhance the east side of UT’s campus and views of the campus from Neyland Drive.
