If you’ve been to the corner of Tate Street and Gate City Boulevard lately, or if you’ve approached Gate City Boulevard from Silver Avenue, you’ve seen the progress being made to the Jeanne Tennenbaum Center for Creative Practice. This innovative space will be a hub of research, academic innovation, and a place to create solutions for local and global challenges. This much-anticipated facility will offer many flexible spaces for people to gather and learn from one another. See here for the visual layout of the use of space.

This beautiful space will add yet another lovely venue on the south side of the railroad tracks that historically contained UNCG. The facility is named for Jeanne Tannenbaum who moved to Greensboro with her military familiy when she was four.* Ms Tannenbaum is a graduate of Greensboro Senior High School (now Grimsley); a UNCG alumna; and a Duke University graduate with a graduate degree Hospital Administration. Ms. Tannenbaum has been monitoring this center every step of the way (see HERE). It is always wonderful when graduates gives back to their college or university. The facility should open this year.
