Two Vanderbilt projects, One Hundred Oaks and The Commons Center, recently earned Excellence in Development awards from the Urban Land Institute’s Nashville District Council.
Winners were selected based on criteria considering various design factors, such as land use, contribution to the community, financial practicality and sensitivity to the environment.
The Vanderbilt Health/One Hundred Oaks facility was honored for its adaptive reuse of space and The Commons Center was lauded for its achievements in green development.
“The Urban Land Institute has taken a leadership role in promoting sustainable land use and development,” said Keith Loiseau, Vanderbilt University architect. “Vanderbilt is honored to be recognized by them.”
Entries included public and private projects and commercial and residential developments.
