Tennessee's Vanderbilt University Expands to New York, Takes Over Manhattan Seminary

Vanderbilt University's nationwide footprint is expanding to New York City. The school, which announced an expansion to southern Florida earlier this month, said Thursday that it entered into a lease agreement with The General Theological Seminary to take over its historic campus in the Chelsea neighborhood — including 13 buildings and approximately 150,000 square feet. Vanderbilt is still in the process of receiving approval for the lease and any future programming from New York state government.
