The 1963–65 Yale Avenue Urban Renewal Project, through which UT acquired 134 acres of land for expansion, took place in an area south of Andy Holt Avenue between Phillip Fulmer Way and the L&N Railroad tracks. UT projected that its expansion needs would be greater than the boundaries of the federal urban renewal project, and in 1965 the Knoxville City Council passed a zoning ordinance designating the area south of Lake Avenue between west Volunteer Boulevard and Melrose Place and south of White Avenue between Eleventh and Seventeenth Streets as an “institutional zone.” UT systematically acquires expansion property within this zone as parcels become available.
