The Lawn
(Academical Village Map, [D3])
The Lawn at the University of Virginia extends from the Rotunda at the north end to Cabell Hall at the south. It is framed on either side by the Pavilions, which house distinguished faculty members, and living quarters for student leaders.
A rocky ridge running north to south necessitated laying the Lawn out in three 200 foot wide terraces with the Rotunda sitting at the ridge's peak. A fourth terrace was added at the south end of the Lawn after the Rotunda fire when Cabel Hall was built to add classroom space.
