From Asheville to Our Knoxville Facility
From Asheville, take I-40 West through the Pigeon River Gorge and into Tennessee. I-40 carries you all the way to Knoxville.
The facility is at 8525 Walbrook Dr, Knoxville, TN 37923, about 115 miles from Asheville. Distances and drive times are approximate and change with traffic and weather, so check current directions before you travel.
Commute or Stay in Knoxville
The drive is close to two hours each way, so a daily round trip adds nearly four hours to each class day. Weigh commuting against lodging near the facility for the two weeks.
The I-40 mountain stretch between North Carolina and Tennessee can be slowed by weather in colder months, so check road conditions before you drive on the days around your class.
