In collaboration with the Christman Company as Construction Manager, two MHM projects were honored by the Associated General Contractors at the Build Knoxville 2019 Awards. The University of Tennessee Student Union, designed as a joint venture with BMa, is a 395,000 SF building which houses the largest auditorium on campus, meeting spaces and ballroom, offices, recreation, retail and dining facilities, among other spaces. BMa-MHM utilized a contemporary approach to Collegiate Gothic design for the facility, paying equal tribute to UT's heritage and its promise for the future. The other project to receive recognition was the State Street Garage. Designed to expand over time, the building recently added two additional parking deck levels, and is structured to accommodate still an additional structure above the top level in the future. In association with the addition, a glass-covered pedestrian bridge now provides connectivity to Gay Street.
UT STUDENT UNION WINS AMERICAN SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY AWARD
The Student Union – Phase II at the University of Tennessee won an Outstanding Design award for the American School and University’s annual Architectural Portfolio edition. The 250,000 SF project was a joint venture with BMa and features collaborations with local artists and makers. The custom torch fixture, made by local glass blower Matthew Cummings of Pretentious Glass Co., is featured on the magazine’s cover. Check out the digital version here.
UT Campus Construction
The University of Tennessee campus is transforming, with $530 million in new construction in progress. MHM has been a significant team member in its evolution, working on projects that are in the final stages of construction as well as a few new projects that are in design. Ken and Blair Mossman Building and the second phase of the new Student Union are expected to open in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 respectively. With the new UT Engineering Service Building and Neyland stadium on the boards, we are excited for what is to come!
