More than 800 elected officials, area merchants and residents, and business leaders attended the recent pre-construction open house at One Hundred Oaks

One Hundred Oaks, Nashville’s first indoor mall, will be transformed into a state-of-the-art healthcare center, Vanderbilt Health at One Hundred Oaks, with an emphasis on providing patients with an innovative way to receive healthcare and to get and stay healthy.

The new space will expand the size of Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) by almost 440,000 square feet. Vanderbilt Health has signed a 12-year lease to occupy the 2nd Floor Mall level, the 3rd Floor Level above the Main Mall and the Office Tower behind the Mall in the biggest project, from a facilities standpoint, VUMC has undertaken since the current Vanderbilt Hospital was constructed in 1980.

The first of the 16 Vanderbilt outpatient clinics to open at the new facility will be the imminent relocation of the Pediatric Rehabilitation Clinic, followed in the fall of 2008 by outpatient services for the Breast Center, Women’s Imaging, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pharmacy, Neurodiagnostics, Vanderbilt Heart, Surgical Weight Loss, Pain Center, Multiple Sclerosis, Medical Infusion, the Center to Integrative Health and the Perioperative Evaluation Center, as well as the grand opening of the Vanderbilt Wellness Center.

Successful retail businesses currently operating on the first floor of the mall and the freestanding Regal Hollywood 27 movie theater, part of the 57-acre mall, will not be affected by the VUMC plan and will continue to do business at this location.

Shuttle transport will run between the main campus at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the One Hundred Oaks facility from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., the operating hours of the facility.

Parking and access from interstates will be greatly improved for clinic patients by the move to the freestanding mall.

The project has a projected cost of $48.9 million for buildout, fees, furnishings and equipment. Architects are Gresham, Smith and Partners.
