Featuring various housing options for students and sweeping views of Nashville’s skyline, Tall Hall is the tallest building on Belmont University’s campus, and establishes new green space. Growth in student population created the need for the co-ed Tall Hall also Belmont’s largest student housing building. . Rising 10-stories and housing more than 600 upper-classmen, this signature building stands as a testament to Belmont’s exponential growth since the early 2000s.
The diverse housing configurations include about 40 percent suite-style with four beds / one bathroom and 60 percent apartment-style, ranging from single occupancy to five bedrooms with a living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. The 10th floor penthouse has four bedrooms and two bathrooms on two levels. A fitness center open to all students provides additional on-campus fitness and recreation options.
The site also includes the university’s first natural lawn with a stream, waterfall, rolling hills, public seating and a bruin mascot statue. The building pays homage to Belmont’s Georgian architectural vernacular while accommodating future student population growth. Honoring the university’s commitment to environmental stewardship, ESa designed this project to attain LEED® Gold Certification. Sustainable design elements include occupancy sensors, nearby material sourcing, VFR HVAC system and low VOC paint.
