Meet Music City
Belmont University is located in Nashville, Tennessee, the Music City and one of the nations fastest-growing cities. Nashville is known for its close-knit feel and warm, welcoming southern hospitality. However, these traits arent the only reasons Nashville remains popular. With three professional sports teams, more than 150 performance venues, world-class museums and a wide range of outdoor activities, Nashville has plenty to offer.
For students what may be best about Nashville, is how it can propel your career preparation. This capital city is home to a booming health care industry, unmatched music scene and rapidly expanding job market, not to mention being a hub of technology and higher education. Whether seeking an interesting internship or landing a great job after graduation, Nashville is the perfect place to be.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Belmont is also consistently growing its number of residential, academic and student spaces on campus, investing more than 650 million dollars on new facilities and building improvements since 2000. The past five years alone have seen the opening of many new and renovated buildings. This includes the expansive Janet Ayers Academic Center – home to three colleges covering a wide span of programs including the Liberal Arts, Social Sciences, Theology, Sciences and Mathematics. The building also houses Belmont's first intentionally-designed chapel and popular dining options.
Other new facilities include the technology-laden R. Milton and Denice Johnson Center – home to the Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business, as well as the vibrant 950-seat Harrington Place Dining Hall. The Massey Business Center – home of the Jack C. Massey College of Business – was renovated to feature state-of-the-art classrooms and learning spaces for Belmont's nationally ranked business programs. Also recently remodeled, the Hitch building, provides new classroom, practice and rehearsal space for the School of Music and also houses the new O'More College of Architecture, Art & Design.
Notably, Belmont's added more than academic spaces. The Gabhart Student Center was revamped to provide expanded student meeting space and centralized student support services. The Gallery of Iconic Guitars, known as the GIG, hails as Music City's premier venue designed to celebrate some of the rarest guitars and stringed instruments in the world. And Tall Hall, Belmont's largest residence hall accommodates more than 600 students, and grows the number of on-campus residence spaces to nearly 3,900. And construction is well underway on Belmont's most ambitious project to date – a new state-of-the-art performing arts center. This 1,700 seat facility, opening in 2021, will serve as a world-class training ground for students both onstage and backstage.
