McCormick Road Dormitories
The McCormick Road Dormitories (generally referred to as Old Dorms) are one of two main areas of first-year living dormitories at the University of Virginia, the other being the Alderman Road Dormitories.
Ten houses make up the residence area located on McCormick Road. The dormitory area was constructed in 1950 and holds nearly 1300 students. Although older and lacking in modern amenities compared to "New Dorms," Old Dorms are closer to Central Grounds, contain larger rooms, and have a unique student culture.
== History ==
After World War II, the University was in need of more student housing as college enrollment numbers swelled across the country due in part to the passage of the G.I. Bill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=McCormick Road )〕 After several locations were considered, an old golf course was chosen as the site of the new dormitories. The construction marked the expansion of grounds westward across Emmett Street, where Old Dorms, New Dorms, the Engineering School, science buildings, the Aquatic and Fitness Center, and Scott Stadium sit today. The architects, Eggers and Higgins, decided upon a Georgian revival style that was later complemented by other new additions to the University, including Newcomb Hall and New Cabell Hall. Because the dorms were not completed until three weeks after the start of the 1950 fall semester, the inbound students due to live in the dormitories had to sleep in the Memorial Gymnasium until their completion. Although the dormitories were originally all male housing, Old Dorms became co-ed when women were officially allowed to enroll as undergraduate students in 1970. Still, the floors of each house are unigender. WUVA, a University of Virginia radio station, was housed in the basement of Lefevre House until the mid-1990s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WUVA Radio: A Concise History )
