Kitty Foster Site Map
 



Slated for completion in 2010, the first phase of the South Lawn project will add over 100,000 square feet to the University of Virginia's school of Arts and Sciences.  It will feature a 95-foot-wide terrace across Jefferson Park Avenue connecting the South Lawn Project with the Central Grounds. At the south end of the terrace is a circular plaza that sits atop a commons building, with an exterior stair leading to the garden areas below. An extensive Landscape design creates a park-like feel while educating students about storm water management. The Foster Site is also celebrated in the landscape, giving recognition to the home of Kitty Foster, a free-black who provided laundry services for the University in the mid 1800’s. The building structure is brick faced with concrete masonry unit back-up, faced with gypsum board on the interior.

Additional information about this project will be posted as it becomes available.
