University of Virginia Library

BUILDING PROGRAM

The Board approved preliminary drawings for the extension of Cabell Hall, and authorized the
President to proceed with detailed plans. The Rector requested that the specifications be drawn so
that the color and size of the brick to be used would conform to the Jeffersonian brick in other
University buildings. It was also suggested that the colonial columns at the entrance to the building
be enlarged and made a little more prominent than those shown on the drawing, and this suggestion was
approved.
