Valet Service Notice
If you choose to use our free valet parking service on our 21st Avenue campus in Nashville, please be prepared for longer-than-usual wait times to drop off and pick up your vehicle. This is due to the ongoing staffing shortage affecting many businesses. If you are able to self-park, we encourage you to do so. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
