Venable/University Circle Neighborhood
Venable, a 133.23-acre neighborhood just north of the University’s Central Grounds, is home to the Rugby Road area and The Corner, a business district filled with shops and restaurants, located on University Avenue between Chancellor Street and 12 ½ Street. Historically an important student housing location, many of the large, late 19th century houses in the area are student rentals.
Neighborhood President: Bobbie Bruner
Update:
On Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2009, Jim Fitzgerald with U.Va.’s Community Relations Office, Craig Booth, from U.Va. Facilities Management, and Tom Leback from the University Architect’s Office presented information about the University of Virginia’s Rehearsal Hall planned to be constructed along Culbreth Road to about a dozen University Circle Neighbohood residents.
The meeting, a follow up to the May 28 University Circle Neighborhood Meeting, offered residents the opportunity to gain current project information and to ask questions of the presenters.
Construction on the project is expected to begin in November.
