Reopening
25 years after the Fair, the level 4 observation deck was reopened July 5, 2007 to give visitors a view of Knoxville. The observation deck can hold 86 people. At the time of its reopening, level 5 became a cafe with sandwich and drinks service and an early evening drinks service. Level 6 served as an open space leased out for functions. Both levels 5 and 6 are being managed by Southern Graces Catering and Events. Level 7 (Upper Restaurant level) & Level 8 (Mountain View Observation Level) will become the offices for the Knoxville magazine Metro Pulse.
On August 27, 2008 the 5th floor was opened as the SkyBox bar and lounge. It has since closed, and now business offices are on the 5th, 7th, and 8th floors.
