Explore Campbell Hall:Inside Look at UVA School of Architecture (in-person)
Join Lifetime Learning and the School of Architecture for an insider’s look into UVA’s Campbell Hall, home to the School of Architecture and the latest UVA building named to Virginia's list of historic landmarks. The Architecture School's Dean, Malo A. Hutson, will welcome everyone to Campbell Hall, designed in 1970 by Italian architect Pietro Belluschi.
Assistant Dean Kyle Sturgeon will lead a tour of the building and how the spaces support an environment for collaborative and innovative work. We will walk through the three major additions and recent renovations to Campbell Hall that reflect the School's growth and commitment to providing a world-class design, planning, and architectural history education.
Melissa Goldman and Trevor Kemp, managers of the Fabrication Lab, will share the exciting machines and research in the state-of-the-art FabLab, which empowers the students, faculty, and staff with tools for making and prototyping. From using traditional hand tools to 3D printing structures with robots, the FabLab helps students visualize projects and understand how their designs are built.
If you are interested in how this modern building expands the vision of Thomas Jefferson’s Grounds, this program is for you.
