The Law School at the University of Virginia : Architectural Expansion in the Realm of Thomas Jefferson Hardback
by Philip Mills Herrington
Hardback
Description
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterwork of Thomas Jefferson, the “Academical Village†at the heart of the University of Virginia has long attracted the attention of visitors and scholars alike.
Yet today Jefferson’s original structures make up only a small fraction of a campus comprising over 1,600 acres.
The Law School at the University of Virginia traces the history of one of the eight original schools of the University to study the development of the University Grounds over nearly two hundred years.
In this book, Philip Mills Herrington relates the remarkable story of how the Law School and the University have used architecture to reconcile a desire for progress and expansion with a veneration for the past.
In addition to providing a fascinating history of one of the oldest and most influential law schools in the United States, Herrington offers a valuable case study of the ways in which American universities have constructed, altered, and enhanced the built environment in response to the ever-changing demands of higher education and campus life.
