    The UTC College of Arts & Science Teaching & Learning Garden was created in 2016 to help integrate sustainability into the curriculum. The garden serves as an experiential learning platform for students and faculty. One third of the garden's harvest is donated to a local kitchen, one third is sold to fund the garden, and one third is sold to fund student scientific events. The garden is managed by a biology professor and involves students from various classes. It is located behind Engel Stadium and helps the university connect with the community.
