University of Virginia is a renowned center of learning--as well as a prime example of Jeffersonian architecture. The university's layout is a result of Thomas Jefferson's plan to design a stimulating environment for contemplation and intellectual exchange. All the famous parts, such as the Lawn, the Gardens, and the Range, serve this purpose. The centerpiece of the university is the Rotunda, inspired by the Roman Pantheon; it originally housed the university library. Subsequent extensions were carefully made to match Jefferson's original design. Walking tours are available, but you should make an online reservation ahead of time.

My dad is currently there in the trauma unit after sustaining major injuries from an ATV accident. The nurses are taking fantastic care of him and we have nothing to worry about, even from an hour away. UVA has been there to provide quality care for everyone in my family and they are a friendly staff willing to help.
