Jeffersonian Grounds Initiative

The initiative addresses a broad sweep of needs and priorities, including the current Rotunda renovation and expanded use of the Academical Village. JGI also heralds a new age of engagement with the public. Early milestones include completion of Historic Structure Reports for many of the buildings in the Academical Village and the first phase of the forthcoming Cultural Landscape Report detailing the conditions of UVA’s historic gardens and grounds. In addition to completing the first phase of the Rotunda renovation, the University completed renovation and repair of Lawn and Range room chimneys, fully restored and renovated Pavilion X, renovated Pavilions II and IX, restored roofs on the West Range and began design of new interpretive and exhibit content for visitors.
