University of Virginia was founded by Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson. It is known for its historic foundations, student-run honor code and ground breaking research. The Academical Village still forms the heart of the University of Virginia, and exhibits a unique U-shaped plan dominated by the Rotunda with pavilions, hotels, student rooms, and gardens arrayed in rows to its south. The buildings are excellent and highly personalized examples of Neoclassicism, shown in their relationship to the natural setting and their blending of functionalism and symbolism.
