Note about campus access: Light Hall is a VUMC Building and requires visitor screening upon entrance. This involves screening through a weapons detection system and items are subject to search. Please allow extra time to participate in this required screening. Eskind Library is a VU building and does not require screening.

A quick travel alert for Reunion Weekend: The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is planning a full closure of I-65 in both directions just south of downtown Nashville from Friday evening, October 16, through Monday morning, October 19. While this should not directly impact traffic around West End or Vanderbilt’s campus, it may cause additional congestion for those traveling to and from Reunion festivities. We encourage you to allow a little extra travel time as you make your way to campus. See the TDOT press release for more details.

Parking and Transportation
We encourage guests to use rideshare services for transportation throughout Reunion Weekend. 

Parking On Campus: Parking is available around campus on a first-come, first-served basis. On Saturday, due to it being a football game day, expect additional traffic on campus and additional charges.

Please note that due to ongoing construction on campus, we recommend allowing ample time to find parking before your event. For those that do not have parking passes for the VU/VUMC campus, the closest parking to our events on campus is the 25th Avenue Garage at the corner of Highland and 25th Avenues. Parking is free on Friday, but game day charges will apply on Saturday. Additional parking may be found at Wesley Place Garage, Terrace Garage and West Garage on Friday as well, again game day charges will apply for Saturday.

*Free self-parking is available at the Clementine for Thursday evening’s Welcome Dinner. There is a parking lot across the street from the front entrance of the building in the Richland Park and Library Parking Lot.

Valet is available for purchase (non-reimbursable) at the Virgin Hotel, and self-parking and valet is available for purchase (non-reimbursable) at the Conrad Hotel on Friday evening for the class parties. Please inquire at the hotel for rates and instructions.
