University of Tennessee - Facilities

All the athletic facilities rank among the top in the county, including the IM facilities. The computer labs have all the necessary equipment for students to complete their studies, and the student center is a decent place to hang out in between classes.

We have some of the best facilities in the Southeast, and we are getting more. Our athletes have the best fitness and study centers around. The computers are all kept up-to-date and are really fast, and the student center is a great place to meet people and catch a bite to eat, or to see a dollar movie.
