Away from the historic area, UVA’s architecture and its allegiance to the Jeffersonian design are controversial. The 1990s saw the construction of two deeply contrasting visions: the [[Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects|Williams Tsien]] post-modernist [[Hereford College]] in 1992 and the unapologetically Jeffersonian [[Darden School of Business]] in 1996. Commentary on both was broad and partisan, as the [[University of Virginia School of Architecture]] and ”[[The New York Times]]” lauded Hereford for its bold new lines, while some independent press and wealthy donors praised the traditional design of the Darden school.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/arts/architecture-view-jefferson-s-legacy-dialogues-with-the-past.html?sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2 Jefferson’s Legacy: Dialogues with the Past] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303232736/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/arts/architecture-view-jefferson-s-legacy-dialogues-with-the-past.html?sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2|date=March 3, 2016}}, accessed September 5, 2014</ref><ref name=”JeffQuest”>[http://www.c-ville.com/Jeffersonian_quest Jeffersonian Quest] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722195916/http://www.c-ville.com/Jeffersonian_quest/|date=July 22, 2015}}, accessed September 5, 2014</ref> The latter group appeared to have the upper hand when the [[The Lawn#The South Lawn Project|South Lawn Project]] was designed in the early 2000s.<ref name=”JeffQuest” /><ref>[http://www.readthehook.com/86465/cover-going-south-wheres-lawn Going South: But where’s the Lawn?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911001813/http://www.readthehook.com/86465/cover-going-south-wheres-lawn|date=September 11, 2014}}, accessed September 9, 2014</ref> |

Student and faculty housing at the University of Virginia describes the campus housing made available by the University of Virginia for its students and faculty.
Other areas
Housing for first-year students, Brown College, the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the University of Virginia Medical School are near the historic Lawn and Range area.
Student and faculty housing
The primary housing areas for first-year students are McCormick Road Dormitories, often called “Old Dorms”, Alderman Road Dormitories, often called “New Dorms”, and suite style dorms located off of Alderman road near the football stadium. The 1970s-era Alderman Road Dorms are being fully replaced with brand new dormitory buildings in the same area. The replacements feature hall-style living arrangements with common areas and many modern amenities. Instead of being torn down and replaced like the original New Dorms, the Old Dorms have seen a $105 million renovation project between 2017 and 2022.[1]
In the 1980s, in response to a housing shortage, the Stadium Road Residential Area was built to the south of the Alderman Road Dormitories.[2] The largest of the houses in this area are the Gooch Dillard Residence Halls which house 610 students and are suite style type dorms.
There are three residential colleges at the university: Brown College, Hereford College, and the International Residential College.[3]
It is considered a great honor and privilege to be invited to live on the Lawn, and 54 fourth-year undergraduates do so each year, joining ten members of the faculty who permanently live and teach in the Pavilions there.[4]
Prior to May 31, 2024, the university had dedicated housing for employees on Grounds. However, the University is considering new affordable housing proposals, one of which is located on the site of the current Piedmont Housing community.[5]
