Residents living on the first through fourth floors will park in the Thrailkill parking garage, while residents on the fifth floor will be required to park in the Curb Event Center parking garage.
- Belmont University sits in the heart of Nashville and is a convenient walking or biking distance from numerous downtown shops, restaurants and other amenities.
