Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Charlottesville, Virginia. Completed plans call for the construction of a 186,614-square-foot, 251-bed educational facility; for site work for a educational facility; educational facility; and 55,476-square-foot, 95-space parking garage.

The University proposes to construct two new residence halls on Brandon Avenue sites B and C, located on the west side of Brandon Avenue in the City of Charlottesville. The Project will include approximately 350 student beds in apartment-style arrangements, plus associated social spaces, resident staff accommodations, and support spaces. A 300-seat dining facility will be located on the ground floor of the Site C building. Two levels of podium parking will be included beneath the Site C building. The student apartments will be based upon a 16-bed apartment, connected over two floors via an internal, interconnecting stair. In order to foster multiple levels of community, the 16-bed apartment will be comprised of two groups of 8 single bedrooms, paired across a common living and dining area, stacked one above the other. Each 8-bed group will be comprised of two 4-bed sub-groups, each with a kitchen plus one full bath and one half bath. The exception to these is the apartments for the resident advisors and senior resident, that will be one-bedroom apartments. Site B will be six stories in height, with Level 1 consisting of community space including a lobby, common lounge space, and a laundry space. Levels 2-6 consist of residential housing, with approximately four 16-bedroom apartments, two 14-bedroom apartments, two 8-bedroom apartments, one 7-bedroom apartment, and five studio apartments. A total of 120 beds are planned in 67,036 GSF of building area. In order to begin construction on Site B, a sanitary line that feeds the Baptist Student Union will need to be relocated. The new sanitary path will run under the new South Lawn Connector park which is just north of Site B and provides barrier free access from the South Lawn down to Brandon Ave. The construction documents for this work are included and will be constructed as designed by the selected D/B team. Site C will consist of two levels of enclosed parking (Levels P1 & P2), one level of community space including a lobby, dining, common lounge space, laundry, and four levels of residential housing. Approximately thirteen 16-bedroom apartments, one 15-bedroom apartment, one 1-bedroom apartment, and seven studio apartments. A total of 231 beds are planned in 119,578 GSF of building area. Approximately 95 parking spaces are planned in 55,476 GSF of garage area. The building will employ a palette of brick veneer over metal framing and exterior sheathing with punched aluminum windows, and curtain walls. The roof will be EPDM roofing membrane with primary and secondary drains. The Project site will be available in September 2020. The D/B will communicate their preferred schedule to meet the Substantial Completion date of June 2023. Proposed Site: The buildings are to be located on Site B and Site C of the new Brandon Avenue Master Plan. These sites are located to the west side of the new Brandon Avenue loop, south of JPA Avenue, west of the new Student Health building, north of Bice House, and east of South Lawn Gibson Hall.
