NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Franklin Road Academy unveiled a new 32,000-square-foot Upper School building and an expanded 38,000-square-foot Bracken Green at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday.
The $29.5 million project features modern classrooms, a digital media studio, entrepreneurial leadership spaces and the Panther Den. Bracken Green doubles the size of the former quad and serves as a central space for students and school events like graduation.
This marks the completion of Phase Two of a seven-year, $70 million capital campaign to enhance the 62-acre campus. Head of School Sean Casey said the new spaces will inspire creativity, collaboration and support student wellness.
Construction finished in just 14 months, with upgraded security and a new visitor entrance.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
