I was disappointed but not surprised that the H-C offered very little detail on this new project. But it's good to see that this is happening. I'm a little sad to see that old grocery store demolished. Anyway, this new rec center will be a definite improvement. I'm eager to see what it's going to look like.

The governor has included $85 million in this year's budget to build the new science building at Tennessee Tech. It's the largest campus construction project to receive state funding this year.

Last hurdle would be for the legislature to approve the budget.

Hopefully, the legislature will give its approval.

I didn't realize that when this new science building opens, Foster Hall will be demolished. I hope this means the University Center will be expanded. I know they've talked about expanding the UC for sometime (it desperately needs it) so I assume with Foster Hall out of the way, that's the direction it'll go.

I'm also glad that the new science building will take up what is now just a sea of asphalt. I'm looking forward to seeing that part of campus become greener.

It's a big win for Tech; the legislature shouldn't have any problems with keeping that in the budget.

Upland Design Group, which has offices in Cookeville and Crossville, has been selected to design the new science building. They've done quite a bit of work for Tech over the years. I'm eager to see what they come up with. So far, they've done a good job keeping with Tech's Georgian and Classical Revival style architecture.

Here are some other buildings they've already done for Tech:

Nursing school interior

Nursing school courtyard

new dorms

I remember when Jere Whitson Hall was the old library. It's one of my favorite buildings on campus, and I'm glad it's being renovated as a visitors center and a gathering spot for new students and their parents. It will also allow the Backdoor Playhouse to expand and use the entire ground floor.

On Friday the Tennessee State Building Commission granted final approval for TTU's new student recreation and intramural sports center and fields. To be located at the northeast corner of Willow & 7th, the new $40 million facility will make an impressive front door to the university. Construction should start in April.

Here's how that corner looked a year ago:




And here's the new recreation center and the site plan for the completed project.
