We are thrilled to see at the University of Tennessee open its doors. Starting in 2008, this two-phase project was designed as a Joint Venture between BMa and MHM, collaborating with both local and national consultants.

The 250,000 sf project boasts an abundance of student lounge and meeting spaces, a new food court and recreation area, as well as a 1,000 person ballroom and a state-of-the-art auditorium which also seats 1,000. 

One of the most notable design elements in the project is a custom glass chandelier crafted by a local sculptor and designed to represent the iconic UT torch. You can see how this tradition was brought to life in featuring our own Doug McCarty.
