The Peabody Education Library, which opened in 1919, is housed in a historic Carnegie library building. FutureVU FutureVU is Vanderbilt University’s comprehensive land-use planning initiative, launched in 2015. It provides a framework for campus development during the next 20 to 30 years in line with themes such as diversity and inclusion, environmental sustainability, connectivity and community enhancement, increased development and traffic around campus, and preservation of the historic, parklike campus setting—all in support of Vanderbilt’s Academic Strategic Plan. FutureVU is guided by the values that relate directly to Vanderbilt’s core mission of teaching, research and discovery, ensuring that the fundamental principles the university cherishes are manifest in its physical surroundings.

Photographs by Vanderbilt University Division of Communications Founded in 1873 with a $1 million gift from “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt to establish an institution that would “contribute to strengthening the ties that should exist between all sections of our common country,” Vanderbilt today is a globally renowned research university. Its 10 schools reside on a parklike campus set in the urban heart of Nashville, Tennessee, providing a collaborative atmosphere of discovery that drives positive change in the world. Top-ranked in both academics and financial aid, Vanderbilt offers an immersive living–learning undergraduate experience, with programs in the liberal arts and sciences, engineering, music, education and human development. The university also is home to nationally and internationally recognized graduate schools of law, education, business, medicine, nursing and divinity, and offers robust graduate-degree programs across a range of academic disciplines. Vanderbilt is committed to inclusive excellence, drawing the world’s brightest students, faculty and distinguished visitors from across all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. The university’s prominent alumni base includes Nobel Prize winners, members of Congress, governors, ambassadors, judges, admirals, CEOs, university presidents, physicians and attorneys, as well as professional sports figures playing in the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, the PGA and LPGA. Vanderbilt, an independent, privately supported university, and the separate, nonprofit Vanderbilt University Medical Center, share a respected name and enjoy close collaboration through education and research. Together, the number of people employed by these two organizations exceeds that of the largest private employer in the Middle Tennessee region.
