The white-domed Faye and Joe Wyatt center for Education with its 10 Corinthian columns dominates the Peabody College campus. The Wyatt Center is one of the nation's most advanced learning environments, with state-of-the-art technologies such as enhanced computer classrooms, video conferencing and multimedia seminar rooms, satellite downlink and broadcast capabilities, and video-editing suites. Philanthropist John D. Rockefeller gave this landmark building to then-new Peabody College in 1915 as a personal gift. Under the leadership of chancellor Joe B. Wyatt, who served as chancellor from 1982 to 2000, Peabody's campus underwent a transformation, including renovation and expansion of this signature building. In 2000, the building which had been known as the Social Religious Building was renamed for outgoing chancellor Wyatt and his wife, Faye. Wyatt Center is home to the Department of Teaching and Learning, Vanderbilt Programs for Talented Youth and various centers as well as VUStar, the Vanderbilt on-campus broadcast facility.
