University
The Law School is located on the North Grounds of the University of Virginia, about a mile from Central Grounds. (Map of the Law School Grounds)
Central Grounds begins at the corner of Rt. 29 (Emmet St.) and Ivy Rd./University Ave. To get to that intersection from the Law School, go down Arlington Blvd. and turn right on Emmet St. (Rt. 29). Alternatively, you can follow Massie past Darden to Copeley Rd., turn right on Copeley and then left on Ivy Rd.
The Rotunda, the heart of the University, is two blocks east of the above intersection on University Ave. Alderman and Clemons libraries are across McCormick St.
To reach UVA Medical Center go east on University Ave. past the Rotunda, under the railroad bridge, to Jefferson Park Ave. and turn right. Or continue on Emmet St. past Ivy, veer left with the road as it turns onto JPA, then make a right into the hospital.
Just one block east of the Rotunda, the Corner is the restaurant and shopping strip along University Ave. that serves Central Grounds. Elliewood Ave. is a sidestreet at the west end of the Corner.
