Much of UT Knoxville's infrastructure needs repair or upgrading, facilities should be more energy-efficient, and all new construction should meet the standards for energy savings, pollutant reduction, and overall environmental health required through LEED certification. We will be working on all of these issues, as well as getting within the mid-range of Top 25 schools by increasing the operating expenditures per student by $8,200 by 2020 and the endowments per student by $24,000 (in today's dollars).
