This project consisted of the relocation of 149 year-old Varsity Hall, which was once used as the nation’s first college infirmary. The relocation of Varsity Hall is part of the McIntire School of Commerce’s “Back to the Lawn” project will culminate in the creation of a 156,000 SF academic complex on the South Lawn. After getting moved to a new site, this 149-year-old building will be renovated to house the offices for the Vice President for Research & Graduate Studies. This project was featured on “Mega Moves,” on the Discovery Channel & TLC, during season one.
Hurt & Proffitt provided all survey work as well as site planning, geotechnical and materials testing, roadway rerouting, and utility relocation.
