Caldwell II Update:
- Vehicle traffic on 15th Avenue will be reduced to one-lane in front of the Johnson building from May 13-approximately June 20.
- Foot traffic on the sidewalk in front of Johnson will be slightly re-routed via signage. Temporary ADA ramps will be installed as necessary.
- The entrance/exit to the Curb Garage via Soccer Field Drive will be shut down. Plan to enter and exit the Curb Garage on Bernard Avenue via the sixth-floor entrance.
Plan ahead and allow extra time for traveling through the affected areas during the construction period and use alternate routes when possible.

Caldwell II Residence Hall
Belmont University continues to prioritize student success while providing more opportunities for students to live on the University’s vibrant campus, located just two miles from thriving downtown Nashville. Belmont leaders recently received approval from Metro Planning to move forward on a new residence hall to be built on Caldwell Avenue adjacent to the current Caldwell Hall.
Providing scenic views of the Nashville skyline, this new residential facility will house 718 freshmen and upperclassmen in both suite-style and apartment settings. In addition, the building will offer a number of special amenities including a 3,100 square foot E-sports suite, dedicated laundry room and a grab-and-go food service outlet.
Construction is expected to begin on the new hall later this summer with the building scheduled to open Fall 2025.

- February 13. full road closure from 6:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (Tentative)
- February 17. single lane closure from 6:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (Tentative)
