The Broadview at Vanderbilt

Located in midtown Nashville, The Broadview is the first purpose-built community designed specifically for Vanderbilt University’s graduate and professional students. The 338,000 square foot building houses 616 students in a mix of unit types including furnished studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments with kitchens and washer/dryers.

The apartments are adjacent to campus and feature ground floor retail amenities that serve residents, but are also open to the surrounding community. A vibrant courtyard and a collaborative workspace are open to all graduate and professional students. Small, medium, and large conference rooms, as well as informal gathering areas inside and out, provide a variety of group working environments. A 13,000 square foot “Co-Lab” provides a dedicated area for academic and entrepreneurial endeavors.

To streamline construction, the project used cutting-edge prefabrication techniques. A single story of post-tensioned concrete and a modular cold formed steel prefabricated structure allowed the project to be built on a tight schedule and ensured students could move in the summer of 2023.
