[edit] South Lawn project

Is the comm. school moving to a new building next to Rouss? I'd heard they were moving into Rouss itself. The University's website seems to corroborate this (this), although I know there have been some changes over the last year and this site hasn't been updated since April.

Good Call. I think you're right. I remember a sign that says that Rouss hall will be the new Commerce School. I added some stuff about the Lighting and the Pavilions. We seem to edit a lot of the same stuff, huh? --ZachPruckowski 23:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, seems we do. Your last name is both a) unusual and b) familiar enough that I did a facebook search to ascertain whether you're one of my contemporaries -- alas, you're lucky enough to still be in Charlottesville. Enjoy it while it lasts. Thanks for mentioning the LotL poem, by the way. I wrote the '02 poem. Pete Gillen mistook me writing out "B - O - V" as a cue for him to say "bov." D'oh.

Really? So is it always the basketball coach? That's something to add, maybe?--ZachPruckowski 00:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pavilion VIII

...does house the Guide Service, but it also has faculty residents -- two sets, actually: one group of residents on the top floor (Mike Thrift & Prof. Della-Coletta(sp?) until '05), and there's also a smaller basement-ish residence to the lower east (abutting the garden.)

Really? huh. my bad. I guess we're each 1-and-1 tonight. If you don't mind, I'm actually going to ask around about it though. --ZachPruckowski 00:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
The former life editor/now assistant managing editor of the CD tells me that this week there's a two-part series on the Pavilion residents. Keep an eye out for it. EEMeltonIV 05:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
You were right. An Ed School Prof. lives there. I'll compile the two articles and add stuff about them to here. --ZachPruckowski 18:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

I like the Holsinger photos as much as anyone, but might some more modern pictures be in order here? Tjarrett (talk) 14:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

I propose merging South Lawn Project into The Lawn. In the alternative, I recommend deleting South Lawn Project as not notable in its own right. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 05:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Support. That project is about expanding the scope of the Lawn and has very little meaning outside the historical context of the Lawn's growth and development. Tjarrett (talk) 20:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
