Peabody Neighborhood Project Updates

The Peabody Neighborhood Project continues to progress and aspects of the project are being finalized.

Seeing Green

The grass seeds in the esplanade are popping up and it is beginning to look like the iconic Vanderbilt lawn again.

Along with grass being planted, the pathways throughout the area are completely open. One major improvement to the pathways is the addition of an accessible ramp at the entrance of the Wyatt Center (see photos below).

Construction & Mobility Updates

• Construction continues on the Connector Building between Home Economics and Mayborn buildings as the roof is being installed.
• The boring work underneath Edgehill Avenue is wrapping up and crews will begin the bore work underneath 19th Avenue.
• Opening of the cafe inside the new Connector Building has been postponed until further noticed due to COVID-19.
• The university, in coordination with Messer Construction, established a live update site that features a weekly schedule of construction activity and a regularly updated map of the Peabody Neighborhood with construction and fencing noted. The link can also be found on the Peabody Neighborhood webpage, a hub of information for community members on all of the efforts at Peabody.
