Building Services at the University of Tennessee recognizes that the number one reason why perspective students select a college or university to attend is “the appearance of the facility.” With that in mind, Building Services team members cover more than 14 million square feet at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, UT Institute of Agriculture, University of Tennessee School of Veterinary Medicine, and University of Tennessee System facilities in Knoxville. Services are rendered 24/7 to all athletic and academic facilities by Service Aides who wear the “essential personnel” badge with pride on sunny days, snowy weeks, severe weather and every single home football game.
Building Services provides the following services: hard floor restoration, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, wood floor maintenance, window washing, recycling, dusting, rubbish removal, vacuuming, lavatory disinfecting, and floor washing, while the Arena & Athletics team is responsible for 7-days-a-week coverage of all athletics facilities.
