The LMU Tower in Knoxville now serves as a key site for Lincoln Memorial University’s expanding health sciences footprint, including the addition of the LMU-College of Dental Medicine. As a modern educational facility housed in the former Physicians Regional Medical Center, the Tower provides an ideal environment for hands-on clinical training and academic instruction. The College of Dental Medicine enhances LMU’s mission to serve the Appalachian region by preparing future dental professionals to address critical oral health needs in underserved communities. With state-of-the-art learning spaces and proximity to diverse patient populations, the LMU Tower supports innovative, community-focused dental education while complementing its established nursing programs and other health-related offerings.
The LMU-Tower, home of the College of Dental Medicine, is secured through an access control system. During the academic year, students may enter the building 24 hours, Sunday through Thursday and 6 am - 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday. After 6 pm on weekdays and during all weekend hours, the buildings are only accessible through access control identification cards. On occasion, access hours are adjusted based on student exam schedules and as needs arise. Please note that the LMU Tower will be closed on all Federal Holidays. Please check the LMU-CDM Main Page for any additional closures. All identification cards of faculty, staff, and students are programmed for access permissions into the building, designated classrooms, and labs. All LMU students, faculty, and staff are expected to wear their University ID badge when in the LMU Tower building. Visitors must call the number for security located on the door for entry.
In an effort to protect visitors, faculty, and students from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, both of the LMU Tower buildings and grounds are tobacco-free zones. No smoking is allowed in the buildings, around the buildings or grounds of LMU Tower.
Public (non-applicant) tours are offered by appointment.
