The team behind the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Belmont University in Nashville had to build a space as beautiful to the ear as it is to the eye.
The new home of the Nashville Soccer Club, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. and Canada, overcame pandemic-related issues and even a tornado that destroyed more than 500 light fixtures to finish below budget and seven weeks early, allowing the team to host its first event of the season on May 1, 2022.
With 173 stacked, rotated and offset shipping containers, 83 Freight is bringing new options to Nashville’s Wedgewood-Houston industrial neighborhood, honoring the city’s working past while nodding to its growing maker and artisan community.
The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts is a venue that stands out even in the Music City: a state-of-the-art performance hall with a classic design offering two recital halls, 12,000-sq-ft grand lobby and 1,700-seat performance hall.
The team hopes construction of the 1.7-million-sq-ft facility could begin as soon as next fall, with completion in time for the start of the 2026 football season.
