Vanderbilt opens new buildings in West End and Peabody neighborhoods

The August 2020 opening of Nicholas S. Zeppos College marks a milestone in the transformation of Vanderbilt's West End Neighborhood, while a completed renovation on the Peabody College campus strengthens its learning community.

"It is exciting and gratifying to see significant progress with our Academic Strategic Plan through these building and renovation projects," said Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Susan R. Wente. "I know that our newest residential college as well as the state-of-the-art learning and working spaces at Peabody will benefit our university community for generations to come."

Zeppos College, located at the corner of West End Avenue and 25th Avenue South, is the fourth residential college to open at Vanderbilt for upper-division students. Expansion of Vanderbilt's residential college system builds upon the success of The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons for first-year students, which opened in 2008.
