The New Campus Site: The Farr Property

The land offered to UVa had the following boundaries:

* on the west, ¼ mile along VA Route 123 (then known as Payne Street);

* On the north, became the southern portion of University Drive as it makes its way from 123 up to the dog-leg left turn in the direction of Fairfax City Hall;

* On the east, a line running along the general area which is today student parking Lot F and the Physical Plant;

* On the south, the boundary of the “old” part of Campus bounded by today’s Rappahannock River Lane, Robinson Hall, Harris Theatre, the Parking Garage and the Physical Education Building.

The University would buy the remainder of its current campus land, which extends the southern part of the campus out to Braddock Road, in later increments.
