New Building Update

Future

Haslam’s new business building will enable the college to continue meeting the needs of its students and those of the greater business world that depend on the college for its accomplished graduates and relevant thought leadership. The official groundbreaking took place on August 21, and the facility is tentatively scheduled for completion in 2027. “Everything is currently on track with our timeline,” Betsy Adams, Haslam’s assistant dean of operations, strategy, and planning, says. “We’re set to move into the construction phase later this fall.” For the latest updates, photos from the site, and time lapse video of the demolition earlier this year, visit haslam.utk.edu/future.

It’s not too late to make a supportive gift and secure your legacy in the largest academic building on Rocky Top, Paul Clark, executive director of development (capital projects) at Haslam, says. “We have received more than $70 million in philanthropic commitments toward our overall goal of securing the $100 million needed to complete the construction of this historic facility. Several classrooms and areas of the new building have been named by Haslam’s generous alumni, friends, and partners, with more being reserved each week.” Many naming opportunities are still available.
