University of Virginia Library

The Rouss Physical Laboratory.

This building is now completed and occupied. The equipment is such
as to offer unusual facilities in several directions for both elementary and
advanced practical work. The working rooms are remarkable for stability,
light, and uniformity of temperature. Electricity, gas, and water, as well
as steam heat, are supplied to each of them. The structure was specially
designed to meet the requirements of Practical Physics, and is convenient
within, while it is sightly without.
