University of Virginia Library

One Access Road

Another problem will be parking. The
building site will initially have only one access
road which will have parking on both curbs. Mr.
Alford comments that "those who leave for
lunch will find a traffic jam every day."

The problem with the dining facilities
occurred when it was announced that
construction of the new Graduate Business
School would be postponed, since certain
federal funds had been withdrawn. Mr. Alford
said that a cafeteria was planned for the
Law-Graduate Business complex, but that
University Food Services determined that it
could not meet the necessary revenue bonds
while serving only the new Law School funds.

As a possible solution to the problem, Mr.
Alford has suggested that the University acquire
a government surplus building to be used as a
temporary facility until a cafeteria is built. The
University would have to provide a foundation
for the building and pay for transportation
costs.

Another possible effect of the shortage of
funds is that the budget for interior furnishings
may have to be cut. Since inflation is decreasing
the buying power of the original allocation at a
yearly rate of 9 percent, according to Mr.
Alford, the Law School is "counting heavily on
private funds for better furniture and interior
decoration."

The Law School also needs funds to
frame the art collection donated by the late
Paul B. Victorius of Charlottesville before it can
be used in the new building.
