Be One UT in action. We recently visited university colleagues who, at an impressive pace, secured and then “flipped” our alternate spaces at Cherokee Mills. We are deeply appreciative of their hard work and professionalism as they helped us get back on our feet. #grateful

I had such a great time at the Employee Fall Picnic visiting with the incredible staff who make Rocky Top so special. I'm grateful for the dedication, heart, and commitment of the Vols who work behind the scenes and keep everything moving. Go Vols!

Every successful construction project starts with relationships, clear communication, and a team committed to finding solutions.
Great projects aren't just built with concrete and steel. They're built on trust, teamwork, and a commitment to getting better every day.
Today, our FS Safety Team hosted a Beat the Heat event, providing outdoor crews with electrolyte popsicles, cooling towels, and practical tips for staying safe in extreme temperatures. Our goal is that FS teams will stay cool, stay safe, & take care of each other.
