The University's Impact

This building is largely under utilized and houses medical center computing and a web center for University of Virginia Health Systems.




Although this building was a house, it is now the building for the UVA medical foundation, however it retains its original historic architecture on the outside.
The University has expanded onto West Main Street, with the hospital being one of the largest buildings and largest employers in the city. Despite this, it does not seem to be the University's intention to overtake this corridor, it has developed relatively few plots and there do not seem to be major plans for it to develop anymore presently.
