Before joining the university, he worked for a prominent contractor in Knoxville and contributed to several campus projects, including Pratt Pavilion, Sherri Parker Lee Stadium, Lindsey Nelson Stadium, two renovations of Neyland Stadium, and more. Bryan has progressed through various roles at the University over the past 13+ years, starting in the Electric Shop. He has held positions as Senior Electrician, Project Manager, Shop Superintendent, and Assistant Director in FS Construction. Reflecting on his career, Bryan shared, “I have been blessed to work for the university. The campus and Facilities Services have provided valuable training opportunities that have helped me grow as a leader and an employee. It is wonderful to be part of the University of Tennessee Knoxville. GO VOLS!” In his free time, Bryan enjoys spending time with his family, camping, volunteering in the community, and going on drives with his wife.
The Construction Services Unit assists the campus with construction and renovation activities for projects performed by Facilities Services and is available to assist with projects performed by the Office of Facilities Planning. Within In-House Construction, we are responsible for Project Coordination, Construction/Remodeling, Estimating Services, and Building Finishes such as painting, sign fabrication, and accessibility improvements. In-House Construction also deploys the campus Special Team to Assist Research (STAR) which exists to ensure lab and research spaces are adequately fitted and maintained so that UT can continue it’s mission of becoming a Top 25 research school.
