Vanderbilt News highlights the new building expansion for Vanderbilt University School of Nursing set to open January 22, 2019.
Pioneering Vanderbilt School of Nursing building designed with health in mind
By Nancy Wise
Health and well-being inform every part of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing’s new $23.6 million building expansion, opening Jan. 22. The expansion, which broke ground in 2017, was designed to target LEED Gold and WELL Silver certification. Once the certification process concludes, the university anticipates that this building will be the first complete, ground-up structure in Nashville to carry the WELL designation.
The WELL Building Standard is a performance-based system of measuring, certifying and monitoring features that affect human health and well-being in the built environment, including air quality, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.
“Nursing embraces a holistic view of health and seeks to care for the entire person. Likewise, our expansion was built with a holistic view of enhancing all of its occupants’ well-being and health,” said Dean Linda D. Norman, the Valere Menefee Potter Professor of Nursing. “It makes synergistic sense that the new School of Nursing project is Vanderbilt’s first building constructed to WELL standards.”
