In early 2021, the University of Virginia Library received a major contribution to support its future in the form of a $2 million gift from philanthropist Marjorie Harrison Webb. Ms. Webb, along with her daughter, a UVA graduate, are spearheading a fundraising campaign focused on renovations that are now underway at Alderman Library.
In early 2020, the Alderman Library closed its doors so that renovation could begin. This process, which is expected to reach completion in spring 2023, will involve the creation of new open, well-lit interiors, as well as a refurbishment and renewal of historic parts of the library.
The university’s first library, known as the Rotunda, was the centerpiece of the Academical Village and broke with long-standing tradition that campuses should have religious structures as their centerpiece. The opening of the significantly larger Alderman as UVA’s main library in 1938 coincided with the university’s shift toward becoming a research institution.
