Ceremony, open house marks University Village expansion project completion
MARTIN – Completion of a $28 million University Village expansion project that will provide apartment-style living for approximately 400 freshmen will be marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house, 10 a.m., Aug. 13, at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Tours will follow the ceremony
Located on the former McCord Hall site, three, four-story buildings with controlled access joined the original University Village apartment-style complex in offering the privacy and amenities many students are looking for in on-campus housing. The newest complex features four floor plans with one-four-bedroom apartments.
UT Martin Chancellor Tom Rakes will be joined by elected officials, architects, contractors and campus leadership in officially opening the complex. The public is invited to attend. The freshman move-in date is Aug. 20
Construction of the complex, designed in a joint venture by TLM Associates, Inc., of Jackson, and Lyle, Cook, Martin, of Clarksville, began in April 2007
