Vanderbilt to implode Carmichael Towers East

Vanderbilt University will implode Carmichael Towers East buildings Nos. 1 and 2 on West End Avenue on July 31 at 9 a.m.

The approximately 15-minute process will be overseen by both Layton Construction (which is the general contractor of Vanderbilt’s so-called West End Neighborhood) and Controlled Demolition Inc. A permit, valued at $1.4 million, has been issued.
