A GEM INDEED, the University’s newest library is nothing short of priceless. The 72,000-square-foot facility, 80 percent contained underground, is the home of the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library and the The Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature, and Culture. The Small Library, formally dedicated Nov. 10, occupies the below-ground portion and houses rare books, manuscripts, maps and University archives, in addition to being the permanent home for the Smalls’ Declaration of Independence collection. The Harrison Institute, formally dedicated on Wednesday, occupies the above-ground portion and contains two exhibit galleries: a permanent display on the Flowerdew Hundred and a rotating display in the main-floor gallery drawn from the University’s Special Collections.

The erosive effects of nature have prompted U.Va. to take a closer look at its buildings at the former Blue Ridge Sanatorium property. U.Va. has announced plans to preserve some 19 historic structures, possibly to be used as office space. The 142-acre site would also provide ample space for new development, including housing and research park activities. Full story.
