University of Virginia Library

Master Plan

The development of the Lambeth
Field area for student housing was laid
out in the University's master plan
prepared six years ago and designed to
meet the needs of the University's
growing enrollment though the 1970's.

Also included on the Lambeth Field
tract will be two eight-story apartment
dormitories to be designed by Williams
and Tazewell and Associates of Norfolk
which will house 300 students each. Cost
of the entire building program — to be
financed by institutional revenue bonds — is
expected to be approximately $4.8 million.

Overall, the Lambeth Field modified
residential college will be for 400 students
housed in buildings of no more than three
stories. Included in the concept is open land for
play areas at the site of Lambeth stadium and
along the Emmet street side of the tract.
