Preliminary, conceptual rendering for the Vanderbilt University Innovation District

The Metro Planning Commission on Thursday afternoon approved a specific plan zoning request related to Vanderbilt University’s proposed 43-acre multi-building mixed-use Innovation District.

With the vote, which was unanimous, Vanderbilt will now need approval from the Metro Council. Because the planning commission approved the SP zoning, the university will need only a simple majority approval from the council. Had the commission disapproved, a two-thirds majority from the council would have been required.
