Brick_Wood_Stone_Land_Water_Measurement According to the best estimates of the university bursar, proctor, and rector, all the lands, buildings, and other expenditures for the University of Virginia could be expected to cost $162,364, exclusive of the library and an observatory. That included the original estimate of 10 pavilions for the professors’ accommodation ($60,000), 6 hotels for dining ($21,000), 104 dormitories ($36,400), 200 acres of land with additional buildings ($10,000), and contingencies such as leveling the grounds and streets, laying the water pipes, covering roofs with tin instead of shingles, and numerous other contingencies ($10,000), plus the actual cost above the estimates of about 18 percent ($24,964). An observatory could be built, Jefferson thought, for $10,000 to $12,000 and the Library House for $40,000 more, thus pushing up the estimate for the entire group of buildings to $214,364. TJ, Statement of Probable Costs for the Buildings, 28 November 1820, ViU:TJ. = $214, 364
Brick_Wood_Stone_Land_Water_Measurement And when Jefferson and some Board of Visitors met at the construction site to discuss the direction of the project for the hotels and dormitories of the western range, they ended their meeting by having to decline building the hotel as first contemplated and in lieu thereof build pavilions, and Dormatories, on the opposite side of the lawn, that is to say directly opposite those already built, this arose from the difference of opinion between them relative to the plan of the hotel.
