From “ UVA Today” I learned a very exciting piece of information about our very own Rotunda. Here is what I read, “September 14, 2010 — The University of Virginia Board of Visitors has approved a plan to renovate and repair the Rotunda, the focal point of Thomas Jefferson's Academical Village.” This is amazing new for not only UVA students’ staff and Alumni but also for the town of Charlottesville who get the pleasure of seeing the Rotunda. The plan has a budget of 22.9 million but still has to go through the state to receive funding. As we all now the Rotunda is one of the most important feature of UVA because Jefferson created it to be the focal point of the campus. It has been renovated many times since it was first built, and needs a lot of work once again. I hope that this project gets the funding it needs so that our Rotunda can be restored and architecturally sound to last for generations to come.
