Downtown Schools for Nashville

RSS feedemail to a friend

This report explores the idea of a new downtown elementary school (as originally conceived in The Plan of Nashville: Avenues to a Great City book, and a new arts magnet school – both to be located on Fifth Avenue (in SoBro and Sulfur Dell respectively). The report illustrates case studies from Chattanooga and Memphis and the success recent downtown elementary schools have had in spurring downtown residential development. In addition, the report utilizes the “Avenue of the Arts“  and proximity to arts-related civic institutions to facilitate collaborations that could augment curriculum for a new arts magnet school.
