The project entails the relocation of the entire existing TCAT Paris campus to a new 20-acre site in Paris, Tennessee. The approximately 99,600 sf facility is divided in two buildings. The front (eastern) building will house the traditional college and university classroom functions. At its center is an economic development center which will include a banquet hall and an exhibition space. The western building will house the technical college shop-based programs. The buildings will define a courtyard space which will provide a central quadrangle space for the campus. A secondary entrance to the west will give access to the service court that serves the shop-based building.
The architecture of the campus will reflect the technical nature of instruction within the buildings. Likewise, the central focus of the economic development functions at the forefront of the building, will reflect the TCAT and Board of Regents core commitment to supporting the economic development of the communities they serve.
