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.

Facilities Are Awesome

The UTK facilities are awesome. There is so much at every students disposal it is crazy. You want to go climbing or work out you can. The Library has so many books its practically over whelming and their state of the art A/V studio is awesome and open to all students.

Always Under Construction.

All the old stuff is old, all the new stuff is really nice. But anything that isn't brand new is constantly under construction.

Facilities on Campus- Athletic Center

The TRECS is an amazing work out center and very convenient. It's pretty spacious and offers a lot to do. It's very clean and people are willing to help!

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.”
