Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The crème de la crème of facilities is still reserved for athletes. Most students have a mild abhorrence for athletes due to pampering by the University, and feel like athletes are provided with their own large campus “country club.” The University does spend a few of the leftover dollars on facilities for students, and most of the students that use them are satisfied with their accessibility and quality.

Most of the academic buildings are rather old, but many have been renovated and brought up to some pretense of modernity. A university of this size suffers a lot of wear and tear. Anything new does not stay new for long, and no matter how hard they try to maintain facilities, some get worn and dirty quickly. While we still do not enjoy marble floors and Italian leather chairs in campus facilities, there have been many improvements over the last several years. UT is eternally a “work in progress,” but it is certain athletics will remain top priority.

Depends on the Major

Most buildings on campus are average. The Haslam business building is top tier and all of the athletic facilities are unbelievably nice. UT is updating most of the old "out of service" buildings, and there are a shocking number of unused building on campus.

There are obviously educational facilities (which are very nice) but the athletic facilities are some of the best in the country. A site to look at.

T-Recs Gym Is Amazing

T-Recs is the student rec center. It has four basketball courts, indoor track, over 80 pieces of cardiovascular and over 100 strength training stations, and has entertainment systems. You can also rent outdoor equipment or hang by the pool. We even have a Smoothie King!

Favorite Things To Do

Grab some food, go out for a coffee or beer depending on your preference and age, take an opportunity to work out, or take in a dollar movie at the UC. Basically, the options are there, it’s just a matter of going out and doing it.

Play intramural flag football, soccer, softball, ultimate Frisbee, and basketball; swim laps at the Student Aquatic Center pool; and work out at the “Bubble.”
