University of Virginia

University of Virginia has served as a centre of higher education in Virginia since 1825. Set in Charlottesville near the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it is defined by the Academical Village, conceived by Thomas Jefferson as an integrated community of learning. The Rotunda, modelled on Rome’s Pantheon, anchors the Lawn, a long green space lined with student rooms and faculty pavilions. The university and nearby Monticello together form a UNESCO World Heritage site, linking the campus to Jefferson’s wider architectural legacy.
