While UVA students have fled Grounds in favor of sandy beaches and the luxuries of summer vacation, construction crews are gearing up for the completion of five new University buildings by the end of August. According to UVA’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Leonard Sandridge, the school currently has “as much construction as we’ve ever had going on.” Last year, the University spent over $300 million on capital projects, creating a building frenzy that will not let up until the fall of 2012. And, unfortunately, UVA’s construction fervor means less parking, more street closures, and traffic delays for those traveling through campus. Here’s a look at what to expect this summer, courtesy of UVA’s Office of the Architect.
