In the heart of downtown Nashville, TN, a state-of-the-art amphitheater and 11-acre park now welcome the community where a trash-burning, thermal transfer facility once stood. The stunning, LEED Silver-certified structure of the performance stage/building, designed to anchor the expansive, outdoor space, is a hub of live music and city events, and each and every act that performs there is welcomed by Crossville tile collections used throughout. Tile, with its aesthetic, sustainable and performance advantages, is at the heart of this inviting venue in the heart of Music City.

After the city’s thermal transfer plant was torn down in 2004, the prominent site near the bank of the Cumberland River sat vacant for more than 10 years. Nashville’s civic leaders, business community and citizens worked together to develop a master plan that addressed a growing need for green space in the city’s downtown. Through combined efforts, the city began a $52 million project backed by the mayor’s declaration that the amphitheater must be a world-class venue befitting Nashville’s heritage as Music City.

Following in the footsteps of the mayor’s edict of the Nashville amphitheater being a world-class facility, the designers of the structure selected Laminam by Crossville to be installed in the entertainers’ restrooms and changing areas.

 

Built to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver certification, the amphitheater is a 36,000-square-foot space encompassing two floors which can accomodate up to s 6,500 people. It is built into a slope with a 35-foot grade change that creates a natural bowl while providing unobstructed views of the surrounding city and river.

Following in the footsteps of the mayor’s edict of the amphitheater being a world-class facility, the designers of the structure selected Laminam by Crossville, Inc. to be installed in the entertainers’ restrooms and changing areas. Laminam by Crossville’s technologically advanced, aesthetically innovative panels that are large in outer dimensions yet lean in profile, allowing them to effortlessly skin the walls for the dressing room and welcome areas. To enhance the overall look of the amphitheater’s interior, the designers chose the Laminam Filo collection, a product that captures the raw appearance of industrial chic metal with an intriguing, chain-mail texture for a style befitting an urban music venue.
