Tennessee is reportedly the first state in the country to do major outsourcing of state office building management and maintenance.

The state plans to unload six obsolete buildings, including two in Chattanooga, which have become too expensive to repair and maintain.
An assessment showed numerous code violations in the buildings. In one, a urinal was installed right next to an electric switching station.
The state says using leased facilities will save the state $100 million over 10 years.
