How about the entrance from Powell Avenue, with those ramps nobody could ever figure out running in both directions?
The ramps are history, and an attractive rock wall façade frames a new entrance. You can drive into the mall parking lot through two entrances, with each having a traffic light.
Getting into the parking lot from Thompson Lane is sometimes a pain, too. Is that going to be easier?
Yes, a new entrance drive and new traffic lights will smooth the entrance from Thompson Lane.
Will there be valet parking for patients?
Yes, at the Vanderbilt Health main entrance under the canopy. There will also be golf cart service to ferry patients and families to and from their cars and wheelchair assistance.
Will parking be free at One Hundred Oaks?
Faculty, staff, patients and visitors will all be able to park for free at One Hundred Oaks. Free valet parking will also be offered for patients at a covered entrance at the back of the mall.
Will there be shuttles between the main campus and One Hundred Oaks?
Absolutely. Shuttles are planned to run at intervals throughout the operating hours of One Hundred Oaks. Seven or eight shuttles will be running continuously to and from the mall and multiple stops on the main campus.

 

Does this mean I can park my car at One Hundred Oaks and ride the shuttle to the main campus every day?
No. Parking at the mall for Vanderbilt staff and faculty will be at the southwest corner of the lot. In order to be a good neighbor to mall retailers, Vanderbilt will actively discourage staff and faculty using mall parking unless they work at the mall.
Does the “new” One Hundred Oaks look better outside?
Oh, yeah. Exterior glass, stone and metal panels give it vastly improved eye-appeal over the previously-sported outdated commercial look.
Will Vanderbilt Police also patrol at One Hundred Oaks?
Vanderbilt Police will operate a precinct at the mall, and will have three officers on duty at One Hundred Oaks 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What other safety improvements will be in place?
Improved lighting in the parking lot, emergency telephones that connect to the Vanderbilt Police, and closed circuit TV cameras at access points all contribute to the security of the site.
What services will be offered through the Vanderbilt Pharmacy at One Hundred Oaks?
There will be full service prescription service, as well as limited over-the-counter retail selections. In addition, a pharmacist will be on site for patient education and to answer questions.

By the way, what’s with the “One Hundred Oaks” stuff? What happened to “100 Oaks?”
Vanderbilt has decided to spell out the name of  Vanderbilt Health at One Hundred Oaks as a way to indicate that the facility has had a new beginning. This new beginning has a pedigree in history, as the original name of the log house that formerly stood on the property was Hundred Oaks (see story page 48).
How can you sum up why Vanderbilt has come to One Hundred Oaks?
Vanderbilt Health at One Hundred Oaks seeks to be a convenient, community-based health and wellness facility. The fact that it is located in a well-known Nashville landmark, with easy access, free parking and a pleasant atmosphere is a great step forward in convenience for people who would like to come to Vanderbilt for health care but are reluctant to come to the main campus.
Is there a Web site to keep up with what’s going on at One Hundred Oaks?
Yes. http://www.vanderbilthealth.com/100 oaks/.
When can I get a look at this place?
There will be open houses for Vanderbilt Employees on Feb. 17 and 18. Watch for details to come.
