The Pavilions interspersed with student rooms
on the Lawn at UVA

At UVA, the 21st century warps with the 19th century in very interesting ways. Between 1814 and 1821, Thomas Jefferson planned the buildings where faculty and students were to live and study as an "academical village" to encourage interaction.
Today, undergrads still live on the Lawn and faculty still live in the large two story Pavilions. Being chosen to live on the Lawn is one of the University's highest honors, despite the fact that showers are in separate buildings located down a garden pathway in back.
