The ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the start of Quad City during homecoming weekend.

The $1.7 million 9,900-square-foot project provides an additional lecture room, laboratories, lab preparatory areas, conference rooms and offices.
The original building was constructed in 1950. In 1970, it was named the C.E. Brehm Agriculture and Biology Hall honoring Dr. Brehm, the 15th president of the University of Tennessee, who served from 1946-59.
