Following a lengthy interview competition with the owner
and Commonwealth Development, the project manager, Doster was selected
to be the construction manager for The First Amendment Center project.
Located on the campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, this
project is a significant expansion of the existing building. The new
structure utilizes a concrete frame with post-tensioned slabs. The
exterior is clad in brick veneer with cut stone accents. The roof is a
combination of asphalt shingles and single-ply membrane. The building is
a multi-use facility containing lecture halls and a Level 2 media
center. It also contains administrative offices and support spaces for
The First Amendment Center.
The Freedom Forum, based in Arlington, Virginia, is a nonpartisan,
international foundation dedicated to free press, free speech, and free
spirit for all people. The Freedom Forum funds two independent
affiliates - the Newseum, the interactive museum of news, in Arlington,
