As the University of Virginia prepares for the fall term, University employees have been busy making modifications to Grounds to ensure student and employee health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many of those who met at the memorial Friday afternoon were health care providers dressed in white coats or scrubs, part of a national “White Coats for Black Lives” movement.
Across Grounds, work continues in small, socially distanced units – lone researchers rotating through labs, DJs spinning tunes in the radio booth, police officers on patrol, preservationists repairing UVA’s most enduring landmarks, and more.
