WINTER STORM | CAMPUS UPDATE

Current Conditions

  • All major walkways, driveways, and loading docks have been generally cleared of ice and debris.
  • All parking lots have been plowed and salted. However, some lots, particularly those west of the Frist of Athletics Village, remain heavily occupied, and isolated ice patches persist.
  • Forecasted warmer weather is expected to help eliminate remaining ice.
  • The majority of tree-related safety concerns have been addressed. The following items remain:
  • A blocked intersection at 18th and Edgehill Avenues, requiring NES crew support.
  • A damaged lighting circuit and internet cable along 21st Avenue adjacent to Wilson and Law, also requiring NES crews.
  • Ongoing identification of hanging branches and debris. 

Work Plan for the Week Ahead

Campus

  • Crews will continue tree and general debris cleanup.
  • Additional salt will be applied as needed.
  • A spider lift will be on campus to safely remove hanging branches and debris while minimizing lawn damage and accessing tight spaces.
  • Tree debris removal efforts will continue through mid-February.

Parking and Garages

  • Parking lot clearing will continue.
  • Garage top clearing will proceed as staffing and resources allow.

To report hazardous conditions, submit a ReADY ticket using the Grounds tile. For emergencies, call Building Systems Control at 615-322-2621.

OUTAGES AND IMPACTS

Buildings Involved: All of Stevenson Center, NMR, and Buttrick Hall
 
Reason for Outage: Due to a water main break, domestic water was shut off to Stevenson Center, NMR and Buttrick Hall. This affects the entire building for the duration of repairs, this will directly affect restrooms, sinks, emergency eye rise and shower stations.  Labs should cease work until utilities have been restored.

Work continues in Central Neighborhood

As part of the Central Neighborhood construction project, Vanderbilt Place remains closed between lot 21 and 24th Avenue South. 24th Avenue South is now open to two-way traffic.  

Construction is underway for the new Commons Residential College

Construction at the new Martha Rivers Ingram Residential College, located on the Peabody campus, started construction on Monday, Dec. 15.  Due to this work, lot 90 is permanently closed.  Those in the area may experience louder than normal construction noise and vibrations.

Project Spotlight | Central Neighborhood Residential Colleges

Details

Plans for the reimagined Central Neighborhood include the demolition of its existing residence halls—Branscomb Quadrangle and McTyeire Hall—as well as the University Club to make way for the new residential colleges. Construction could begin as early as summer 2025, with the new residential colleges expected to welcome more than 1,300 students for the 2028–29 Academic Year. 

The four new residential colleges would be designed to support the goals of the university’s residential colleges program by creating spaces for academic experiences beyond the classroom, featuring mixed-use spaces for collaboration, green spaces to promote sustainable living, and a variety of single and suite living options. 

Timeline

  • Start: June 2025
  • Completion: August 2028 (two buildings); August 2029 (last building)
  • Full Occupancy: Fall 2029
