Great pics of Vandy. Really need to go up there and walk around.  Imagine that project in triplicate by the time they're finished (2 years?).

Wasn't much of a fan of the (apparently) random placement of the stonework in the brick, but the stone around the arch along 25th Avenue looks very nice. Also, up close the herringbone (?) pattern of the light bricks looks much better than I expected, and they're not really so visible from a distance. 

The multi-story bay windows are great looking and the nooks/archways are really cool. I'd never guess the pic of the patio is facing the old Pike house (barely visible in the back). I think it's the PiPhi house now. Trying to remember what was where that patio and building (Panhellenic center?) stand now, but I think it was a sorority house and a parking lot. 

My question regards the architects: What's the difference between the Architects of Record (Hastings) and the Design Architects (David M. Schwarz), who also did the Schermerhorn center and the Bronson Ingram college hall? And the fence obscures who the General Contractor is. So what firm?
