Meanwhile, the state of Tennessee will move from landlord to tenant next February when the offices for nearly 400 state employees in Chattanooga are moved out of two state-owned buildings that consultants say are "functionally obsolete."
Officials say fixing problems in the seven-story Chattanooga State Office building and the James R. Mapp building would cost nearly $12 million dollars.
The state is now looking for space to lease in Hamilton County, and UTC is eager to acquire the old buildings, or at least the land on which they sit.
UTC Vice Chancellor Richard Brown says the land is critical if the university is going to grow to more than 15,000 students.
In the near term, the properties could be used for extra parking space. Eventually, UTC says they could be converted into university housing, classes or offices.
