Construction continues on the new library and lecture hall at UTC.
rendering of the new UTC libraryWorkers have completed major construction on a new $37 million library at UTC, a building designed to anchor what will become the new center of campus.
As is tradition, crews added one last touch to the building’s roof: a small Christmas tree and an American flag.
The library and attached classrooms, along with a new pedestrian mall, are a key element in the University’s 15,000-student future, said Chuck Cantrell, associate vice chancellor of University Relations.
“What we’re looking at is creating the new academic heart for our campus,” Cantrell said.
As UTC enters its 10th consecutive year of record enrollment, there’s no time to pause for breath. Work will continue in the area for years, with construction crews moving to create a new quad centered on what was once Chamberlain Field.
