Roane State and its non-profit Foundation will host a ceremony on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, commemorating a major milestone in the construction of the college’s new Knox Regional Health Science Education Center.
On the morning of the event, at approximately 10:30 a.m. ET, construction crews will hoist the final piece of steel for the facility’s frame and secure it into place. Project supporters and members of the community are invited to watch this “topping off” ceremony. There will be very brief remarks and a photo opportunity. Some attendees will also be signing the beam before it’s installed.
Summarized event details are as follows:
The 130,000-square-foot center will be located across from Parkwest Medical Center and will house health science programs offered by both Roane State and the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) Knoxville. The campus is expected to educate more than 8,000 students each year in a variety of disciplines, including nursing, emergency medical services, and respiratory therapy. The opening date is currently projected for fall of 2025.
