The sign for Tennessee Temple University can be seen on the university’s campus in Chattanooga.
Site of Tennessee Temple’s 21-acre Highland Park campus.Tennessee Temple University is listing the bulk of its 21-acre Highland Park campus for sale, President Dr. Steve Echols told students Tuesday.
School officials on Sunday indicated they were exploring the possibility of a move to the 170-acre campus of Woodland Park Baptist Church in Tyner.
The property, as of this morning, is listed for $19.6 million by Herman Waldorff Commercial Real Estate.
“We have already gotten such strong support [on the idea of moving],” said Echols. “It’s been so overwhelming, we said, hey, let’s go ahead and put this in a more formal way.”
The more than 21 acres includes 470,000 square feet of improved structures within the fenced campus, plus the school’s distant education building, an elementary school building, warehouse building and some vacant land beyond the fence.
