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.
