University of Virginia Library

Meet Needs Of 14,500

The concept recommended for the
University by Kimley-Horn would meet the
parking needs of an enrollment of 14,500
students on the Central Grounds and an
additional 3,500 students at he Birdwood tract
west of the University if that tract of land is
developed to handle the University's growth.
Total number of parking spaces for all persons
coming to the Central Grounds would be
15,0000 and 4,820 more would be at Birdwood
under this plan.

Birdwood is a tract of land belonging to the
University which is located on Route 250 West
immediately northwest of the Route 29
overpass. If this area is designated by the
administration for use in the growth and
development of the University and is designated
for resolution of the parking squeeze, a transit
system will enable motorists access to their
vehicles.

Under provisions of the specific plan
recommended by Kimley-Horn, 98 per cent of
the faculty and staff (including medical) would
park within five minutes walking distance to
the place of employment.
