Demolition of Stokely and Gibbs Underway

Work has begun on the demolition of Stokely Athletics Center and Gibbs Hall, making way for a new residence hall, dining facility, and parking garage at the corner of Volunteer and Lake Loudoun boulevards. The buildings will be demolished by summer.


Having an Issue in Your Dorm Room?

Facilities Services and University Housing have been working around the clock since Sunday to address problems in buildings caused by the freezing temperatures.  If you are having any problems with your residence hall room, please let the hall staff know so that it can be addressed quickly. 


UT's Inclement Weather Policy Reminder

Brrr – it's cold out there. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with UT's inclement weather policy. UT will notify you in the event of a closure or delay in our normal operating schedule. 

 


Congrats!

Thank you to students who completed the Student@Tennessee survey at the end of last semester. We will use your feedback to make continual improvements. Congratulations to Nancy Richards, Jennifer Clabo, and Cameron Hughes, who won the VolShop gift cards!
