UVA’s Board of Visitors gave final approval for the design of the School of Data Science Entrepreneurship Building. The building will serve both @uvadatascience and the University’s growing entrepreneurship initiatives. When completed, the Entrepreneurship Building will include classrooms, offices, conference space and an “entrepreneurship hub.” The board also approved a final, three-phase plan to remove hulking concrete coal silos and other coal-related machinery at the Main Heating Plant. In its place, the University will construct a 110,000-gallon fuel oil storage tank, tucked out of view, as a backup. Read more ➡️ uvatoday.me/4v8coR6.

The Lawn requires a great deal of care and preparation before Final Exercises. @UVAFM is busy this time of year making those preparations. “The Lawn is both the University’s front yard, what people want to see the most, and it’s the backyard, where all the fun happens.” uvatoday.me/4uKC3P6

On Founder’s Day, UVA has a tradition of planting a tree to honor those who have made significant and lasting contributions to the Grounds. Dick Minturn, who retired from the University in 2024 and died in 2025, had been a @UVAFM project manager and then a senior academic facility planner in the provost’s office at the University. A legacy sugar maple tree was planted outside one of his favorite places, @UVALibrary. uvatoday.me/484a6sx
