University of Tennessee Arboretum

Nestled deep in the woods of University of Tennessee’s arboretum, you will find this charming structure, which houses an auditorium classroom and provides a gathering space for those wandering the grounds. The building’s design blends in seamlessly with its surroundings, featuring large timber beams, stone fireplaces, and a “rhythmic storefront that resembles the trunks and limbs of the forest trees.”

This facade is punctuated by Kirlin’s popular “hockey puck” super-shallow cylinder, LSR-12484, in a bronze painted finish. Read more about the project courtesy of the Knoxville-based architect, Studio Four Design, here.
