UT and John Tickle Dedicate New Engineering Building
Today, UT alumnus and Strongwell Corporation founder John D. Tickle helped dedicate the new engineering building named in his honor—a state-of-the art and much-needed addition to UT’s fastest-growing college.
The ceremony also commemorated 175 years of engineering at the university and forty years of diversity programs.
John Tickle and his wife, Ann, joined Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek, UT President Joe DiPietro, and Dean of Engineering Wayne T. Davis, and other officials to celebrate the John. D Tickle Engineering Building. A gift from the couple made possible the building, which sits just east of Neyland Stadium, behind Pasqua Hall, facing Neyland Drive.
