Parking lot to close permanently for Owen construction project, future Walk and Roll Loop

Parking Lot 6B, between Grand Avenue and Scarritt Place off of 21st Avenue South, will close permanently on March 1 as part of the Owen Graduate School of Management Capital Project.  

The project includes the renovation of the current Owen building, a 48,000-square-foot addition and a new enhanced ADA-accessible pedestrian pathway and entrance to Owen, as well as a new section of the Walk and Roll Loop, a wide and comfortable loop encircling campus for active transportation, recreation and green space.

The closure of parking Lot 6B is in support of Vanderbilt’s FutureVU initiative to improve connectivity and enhance accessibility throughout campus while also achieving the university’s sustainability goals. The entrance to Owen from 21st Avenue South also is being redesigned to better connect the university with the surrounding Nashville community. 

All of the ADA-designated parking spots in Lot 6B will be relocated to surrounding parking lots and structures. Nearby lots for annual permit holders include lots 5, 5A, 5B, 6 and 6A along 21st Avenue, and all include available existing ADA parking spots. Multiple lots along 19th Avenue also are available. Daily parking participants can still use the Wesley Place, Terrace Place and Sony garages.
