HISTORY OF the Bridge Building
Perched on the east bank of the Cumberland River, The Bridge Building Event Spaces has a storied history dating back to 1902 when Arthur Dyer founded the Nashville Bridge Company (NABRICO) Initially focused on bridge construction, NABRICO quickly expanded to other major projects like the steel framework for The Arcade in downtown Nashville By 1908, a six-story office building was erected to accommodate the company’s growth, setting the stage for decades of infrastructure contributions across the Southeast and beyond
The Bridge Building sat vacant until a revitalization plan emerged in 2006 After surviving the 2010 flood, Hastings Architecture Associates spearheaded its transformation, achieving LEED Platinum certification with innovative energy features and preservation of historical elements
Today, The Bridge Building is internationally recognized as one of the greenest buildings and a premier Nashville event venue, offering customizable spaces for everything from graduation ceremonies to corporate gatherings, all with breathtaking riverfront views
