New Reserved Parking Added to Derryberry Lot
The Derryberry parking lot is undergoing some changes for the 2021-22 school year. This year employees have the opportunity to purchase one of 15 reserved parking spaces located in front of Derryberry for an annual rate of $700. The reserved spots will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have already requested and/or received your 2021-22 permit, you are still eligible to request one of the reserved spots and any monies already paid for a permit will be applied to your new selection.
Please keep in mind all general parking policies apply to these permit holders including the following:
- One permit per person – permits cannot be shared
- This permit will allow individuals to park in any valid parking spot in Gold, Purple, and Red zones on campus (excluding Green and Teal zone, and visitor or other reserved spaces such as facilities or police parking)
- In the event that the lot in front of Derryberry is closed for any reason, permit holders will need to find an alternative parking spot
In order to request one of the reserved spots, this form (click here) will open on Thursday, Aug. 12, at noon. Parking and Transportation Services will contact the first 15 respondents via their Tennessee Tech email with instructions for securing their permit. If the office does not receive a timely response, they will move on to the next person who has submitted the form.

TN Tech Featured for Hosting Successful Hybrid 3D Delivery of Boys State Program
The Tennessee American Legion Boys State program, which is hosted by Dean of Student’s Office on Tennessee Tech’s campus every year, was recently featured by MootUp for using an innovative hybrid delivery method utilizing their 3D virtual platform. Due to COVID-19, this year’s 5-day leadership and citizenship program was developed in an online 3D virtual world that allowed delegates to participate in highly interactive experiences such as campaigning for mock government elections, earning points for city competitions, and building relationships with other high school students across the state. Tennessee Tech staff from several departments helped make this program a success by working as Senior Counselors. From the Boys State headquarters located in the RUC Multipurpose room, Senior Counselors interacted with the delegates virtually (via avatar and video) to provide guidance and support throughout the week. Many local and state government officials also participated in the program by providing educational presentations and interactions with the delegates.
In addition to a successful hybrid program, Mr. Jake Officer was elected Boys State Governor and chosen to represent the Tennessee program at Boys Nation in Washington, D.C.
To view the full MootUp feature about the Tennessee Boys State program, please visit their website.
