University of Virginia Library

RELOCATION OF PHYSICS BUILDING

President Darden stated that as the new Academic Building neared completion it seemed
unwise to build the Physics Building at its original site, so close to the new Academic Building.
The design of the Physics Building had proved to be larger than at first anticipated. He had consulted
the architects, Eggers and Higgins, who had prepared the master plan for the University,
and now recommended to the Board that the Physics Building be located on the north side of McCormick
Road, east of the new Residence Houses. Whereupon a resolution was adopted approving this
site for the Physics Building.
