Belmont University's Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business will expand its Music Row presence with a two phase project at 38 Music Square East:

1) They will renovate the former Buddy Lee Attractions/Capitol Records Building w/ 17,000 additional sq. ft. of songwriting rooms, listening spaces, live sound classrooms and student lounges. Work is already underway. 

2) A 7 story, 75,000 sq. ft. structure will be added in the back of the site (eastern side) that will house a 150-person performance venue, networking space, coffee shop, content capture rooms and underground parking.  It will start construction about 2 years from now.

ESa is the archtiect. 

All of this is being paid for by an initial  $58 million gift from the Mike Curb Foundation.   Another $40 million needs to be raised to finish the project.

Calling BS on those figures. No way Vandy ONLY has 745 graduate students. And they don't have more than 8,000 ug students. Would have been one of the easiest schools to check for the NBJ, but I guess that was too much work.
