Current Projects
New Concert Hall
Belmont University's School of Music has earned national recognition for the quality of its programs and the breadth of its vision. Not only does the school provide a superior music education, but it also offers a high performance standard across a broad range of musical styles.
In 2003, Belmont purchased Belmont Heights Baptist Church with the dream of converting the main sanctuary into a state of the art concert hall. However, numerous sound deficiencies require a substantial renovation, and the staging and seating need to be reconfigured to accomodate orchestra, wind and choral ensembles.
The new Concert Hall space will enable Belmont to continue to produce the performers and leaders who will help sustain Nashville's rich artistic history and develop students who will impact the world with their education and talent.

Rose Park Athletic Complex
The Rose Park Athletic Complex is an innovative project that will lead the way in university-community partnerships, creating a unique national model and providing a win-win scenario for all involved.
The program has Belmont collaborating with the Nashville Metro Board of Parks and Recreation to provide 8 million dollars worth of enhancements to nearby E.S. Rose Park. The partnership will create new resources for the Edgehill community and the student-athletes of Belmont University. For the first time in Belmont history, all NCAA Division I outdoor sports programs-baseball, softball, soccer and track will have their own playing fields. Plus, the Edgehill neighborhood children and families will enjoy the benefit of significant park improvements.
Investing in Rose Park is a means for supporting our student athletes and deepening our relationships with our neighbors.

McWhorter Hall (Pharmacy)
The newly opened 90 thousand square foot McWhorter Hall houses the Belmont School of Pharmacy as well as the School of Physical Therapy and the Psychology program. The facility emphasizes integrated hands on experimental learning components including a licensed, state-of-the-art campus pharmacy which provides services to students, faculty and staff while also serving as a training site for student pharmacists. Of special note are the simulation labs, where students and community clinicians can practice skills either on actors who simulate patients or on high tech mannequins.
Located next to the Inman Helath Sciences Center, the close proximity will ensure that the Belmont healthcare educational experience is highly interdisciplinary and interactive. A complete team of nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, occupational therapists and social workers will work side by side in top-notch labs and classrooms.
A gift to this project will enhance the quality of life for thousands of patients and their families whose lives our students will touch in the future.
