Teaching Fellowships at UTC
Preserve Chattanooga partners with the University of Tennessee (UTC) Interior Architecture department by co-funding adjunct professors for its minor in Historic Preservation. Historic preservation is a multi-disciplinary field that preserves structures, neighborhoods, landscapes, and cultures. The minor in Historic Preservation creates opportunities for undergraduate students to work directly with preservationists and to make a positive impact on the community.

Preserve Chattanooga has had a community partnership with the UTC Interior Architecture department since 2016. The program is designed to reach a younger audience about the benefits of historic preservation to our communities. Each year, the Interior Architecture students focus their senior theses project on a historic building in Chattanooga. Preserve Chattanooga presents awards to students for overall design work, best presentation skills, and the most historically sensitive solution for adaptively reusing the property.
