About Campus Our close-knit campus community will pro- vide you with an exceptional, well-rounded academic experience through continuous innovation and rich campus traditions. From state-of-the-art STEM and Nursing simulation labs to the 33,000-square-foot George Shinn Center, Lipscomb continu- ally invests in spaces that prepare you for what’s next. Innovative spaces such as the Fields Engineering Center, our Animation Studio, and our Contemporary Music House on Nashville’s Music Row give stu- dents unique hands-on learning experi- ences. The heart of campus—Bison Square—is always buzzing with student life, and campus dining favorites include Starbucks, Chick-fil-A and the Bison Cafe. Our campus is small enough that you can always find a familiar face, but big enough to make new connections throughout your college experience. Spiritual Formation Faith is at the core of our campus commu- nity. Through bi-weekly chapel services, faith-integrated academics, local and global missions, on-campus Bible studies and service opportunities, you will be en- couraged to make your faith your own while growing within a supportive commu- nity and caring for the world around you.
