NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Lipscomb University is getting ready to launch a new venture by opening its first ever satellite campus.
It will be in the Cool Springs area in Williamson County.
The university has leased a 5,000 square foot facility along Cool springs Boulevard and Aspen Grove Drive.
They're calling the new facility "Spark" and said it's designed to create an environment for innovative ideas in learning, business, faith and the community.
It will be led by assistant professor of business at Lipscomb John Lowry.
It will includes degree work work from several colleges and institutes at the university. Most of those classes will take place in the evenings and on weekends.
The building will have flexible space for event and academic activities that can quickly accommodate a need as small as one-on-one meetings or as large as a 125-person lecture.
It also will include a kitchen, a workspace area, a video conferencing room and two conference rooms along with a pre-function entry space.
The space will be open to businesses and organizations looking for place for meetings and other events when it is not being used.
Construction is expected to begin in the next few weeks, and finished in the spring.
