For those of you who are yet to notice, the Cavaliers have returned to town. And with classes starting at Jefferson’s university tomorrow, a handful of students will set foot inside the biggest project on Grounds for the first time.
Although the 116,000-square-foot South Lawn opened a few of its facilities in January—almost a full year ahead of schedule—the entire site is now ready to host students in its full capacity.
According to UVA Today, South Lawn, which includes a pedestrian terrace that crosses Jefferson Park Avenue from New Cabell Hall to new classroom spaces, will be the new home for the Department of History, the Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics and the Department of Religious Studies.
