The University is planning to expand yet again – the Board of Visitors Buildings and Grounds Committee has already chosen a site in the Emmet-Ivy area for new student housing. If all goes according to plan, this construction aims to accommodate all second-years in on-Grounds housing by the year 2030. To be clear, this is an exceptionally admirable goal – requiring second-years to live on-Grounds can foster a sense of community, alleviate the affordable housing crisis for Charlottesville residents and mitigate the stress of finding off-Grounds housing for students. But while the second-year housing expansion may be well intentioned, the manner in which it is being undertaken belies its fundamental goals. In fact, it is part of a barrage of large-scale construction projects which push the boundaries between the University and the neighboring Charlottesville community, projects which are so constant that they beg the question – will this expansion ever end?
