Walters State Community College

Walters State Community College was established in 1970 to provide quality, affordable higher education to the residents of upper east Tennessee. The 28,000 square foot Life Sciences Building, completed in 1979, underwent interior renovations completely revamping classroom layouts and incorporating existing corridors and office suites at either end of the building. Updates provided for new technology, mechanical systems, finishes, entrances and finally created a visual interest along the building façade. An elevator, ramp and handrail system at main entrances, and handicap accessible toilet facilities provided greater accessibility. Maintaining a cohesive campus aesthetic was especially important for Walters State administrators. Walters State was so pleased that current designs for their 25,312 square foot Academic Building and the 23,722 square foot Culinary and Performing Arts Building are finalized and out for construction. The new building designs blend well into the campus and provide for the technological advancements expected in the coming years.
