Garland Hall, built in 1928, is one of Vanderbilt University’s oldest buildings. Named in honor of Chancellor Landon Garland, the building will be undergoing a transformative renovation and addition to improve the interior and enhance accessibility.
To prepare for this project, an access road near Garland Hall will be installed in three phases to minimize the impact on inner campus pedestrian traffic. The road is only for construction and emergency vehicles and will alter the pedestrian and bicycle routes in the area.
See the maps below to view affected routes.
