Oak Ridge City Center formerly known as Oak Ridge Mall is a shopping mall in Oak Ridge Tennessee. The site currently occupied by Oak Ridge City Center was selected by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to establish a permanent shopping center in the years following World War II. In 1951 the AEC selected a company headed by Guilford Glazer to build the new shopping center. A shortage of steel resulting from the Korean War delayed construction but the Downtown Shopping Center opened in 1955.
