New East Bank campus will support Oracle's continued growth in cloud, AI, and healthcare and create thousands of high-quality jobs in Tennessee AUSTIN, Texas and NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today held its groundbreaking ceremony for its future global headquarters on Nashville's East Bank, advancing its investment in the city as a growing hub for cloud, AI, and healthcare technology. Building on its strong presence in Nashville, Oracle continues to attract engineering and technical talent locally and from across the country, with plans to create thousands of high-quality jobs as campus development progresses.
Oracle CEOs Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia joined Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, Deputy Governor and Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Stuart McWhorter, Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell, Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn, and U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty for the groundbreaking ceremony. "Nashville's talented people, ambition, and strong sense of community make it a great place for Oracle to grow," said Clay Magouyrk, CEO, Oracle. "Today's groundbreaking is an important next step in our commitment to Nashville. We're grateful to the city, its leaders, and the community for welcoming and helping us reach today's critical milestone for our future campus." Creating jobs and investing in Tennessee "Oracle's decision to build its global headquarters in Nashville reflects the strength of Tennessee's workforce and business-friendly climate," said Governor Bill Lee. "This investment will create high-quality jobs and new opportunities for Tennesseans to build their futures right here at home. Today's groundbreaking is a testament to what sustained collaboration between state and local partners can accomplish, and we look forward to Oracle's continued success." Oracle's investment includes $175 million for public infrastructure, such as a new pedestrian bridge across the Cumberland River, a public park, greenway connections, and street improvements. The bridge will connect surrounding neighborhoods with the campus and public park, creating new routes for everyday travel and recreation. Its design reflects the riverfront's character and industrial history. Designed by Foster + Partners, the campus will transform a former industrial site into a greener riverfront environment, with more than 1,900 trees and habitats designed with ecologists to support biodiversity. Oracle is also targeting LEED Gold certification across the campus. "Our East Bank should bring us closer together as Nashvillians, serving as a guide for how we build great communities," said Mayor Freddie O'Connell. "The development of Oracle's campus will open up River North for Nashvillians, offering more ways to reach and enjoy the waterfront. Oracle is also building relationships beyond the campus, supporting organizations that are deeply rooted in Nashville and contribute so much to life in our city." Building on Nashville's healthcare expertise "The future of healthcare isn't just about advancing technology; it's about giving caregivers more time to care," said Mike Sicilia, CEO, Oracle. "Our partnerships across Nashville's healthcare community help us identify meaningful opportunities to reduce administrative burdens, empower care teams, and improve the patient experience." Oracle is also working with Nashville's colleges and universities to support students pursuing STEM degrees, offering internships and hands-on learning to help prepare them for careers in technology. Oracle's collaboration with Vanderbilt University includes working together to enable experiential opportunities and enhance student learning using access to Oracle technology with the Vanderbilt College of Connected Computing and working with the Vanderbilt School of Engineering on advanced research projects. Oracle's commitment to opportunity extends to veterans and military spouses through training and career development. "Tennessee is helping shape the future of technology, and Oracle's growing presence will give more people a chance to be part of it," said Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn. "I'm especially encouraged by the opportunities for veterans and military spouses to bring their experience to new careers. Their skills will be an asset as Oracle builds its future here." "Having served as Tennessee's economic development commissioner, I know the lasting difference an investment like this can make," said Senator Bill Hagerty. "Oracle's headquarters strengthens our state's position as a technology leader. Its longstanding work with national laboratories and national security agencies connects Tennessee's growing expertise to priorities that matter to the entire country." Supporting Nashville neighbors Oracle has also just awarded $150,000 to 30 local nonprofits through its recently launched Nashville Employee Directed Grants program. Employees nominated organizations that provide a range of services from science education to support for veterans and local parks, helping direct Oracle's philanthropy to causes that matter to them and their community. Oracle's $10 million partnership with the Nashville Symphony enabled the Symphony to reinstate its 2026–27 season and bring furloughed musicians and staff back to Schermerhorn Symphony Center. These investments reflect Oracle's commitment to the organizations that make Nashville a vibrant place to live and work. Join the celebration
