Work is getting under way on the renovation of the University of Virginia's Rotunda. Media outlets report that the Rotunda's roof and oculus skylight will be replaced. The work also includes repairing exterior brick walls, windows and ornamental sheet metal. Work on the nearly $4.7 million project begins Wednesday. It's scheduled to be completed in August 2013 but the university says it will try to finish the work in time for final exercises in 2013.
