Fisk University Plans $900M Campus Upgrade

Fisk University proposes a $900 million mixed-use development at its North Nashville campus. Features include a sports arena, student center, art gallery annex, residence hall renovations, a 100,000 sq ft Innovation & Technology Center, and the John Lewis Center for Social Justice annex. The project will meet LEED-certified standards and is to unfold over the next decade. Located at 1000 17th Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37208, this development enhances campus facilities with modern amenities for students and faculty.

Correction, Oct. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this story gave the plan's size as 100,000 sq ft and a May 14, 2036 completion date. The 100,000 sq ft is the Innovation & Technology Center alone, in a $900 million plan Fisk says will unfold over the next decade.
