Driven by growing enrollment at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, the university and RISE Real Estate collaborated in Tennessee’s first-ever public-private partnership to expand its student housing facilities. Phase 1 of the project includes two seven-story total precast structures, Beacon Hall East and Beacon Hall West, that provide 583 new beds each for UTK students this fall. Metromont’s Hiram, GA and Greenville, SC teams produced a total of 254,381 SF for the two residence halls, with exterior façade comprised of integrated arches and projection features in medium sandblast finish with cast-in thin brick. Both structures utilize Metromont’s MetroDeck roof and floor system with load-bearing insulated precast walls. Total precast concrete was chosen to meet the scheduled opening for Fall 2025 semester. With Phase 1 scheduled to open for the Fall 2025 semester, the two fast-track projects were completed in approximately 20 months.
