The University of Tennessee Health Sciences Advisory Board approved a capital master plan Friday, Nov. 13, for their campuses statewide, including more than $520 million for various projects over the next 10 years.

Those projects are for anything from making streetscapes more accessible and safe on the campus to using space more efficiently in older buildings, according to the plan.

A centerpiece of the improvements is the new $350 million College of Medicine Interdisciplinary Building, which broke ground in October.
