===Other areas=== [[#Student housing|Housing for first-year students]], [[Brown College at Monroe Hill|Brown College]], the [[University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science|School of Engineering and Applied Science]] and the [[University of Virginia Medical School]] are near the historic Lawn and Range area. The [[McIntire School of Commerce]] is on the actual Lawn, in Rouss-Roberston Hall. [[File:Hereford College broadview.jpg|thumb|left|Recessed windows of the monolithic [[Hereford College]]]] Away from the historic area, UVA's architecture and its allegiance to the Jeffersonian design are controversial. The 1990s saw the construction of two deeply contrasting visions: the [[Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects|Williams Tsien]] post-modernist [[Hereford College]] in 1992 and the unapologetically Jeffersonian [[Darden School of Business]] in 1996. Commentary on both was broad and partisan, as the [[University of Virginia School of Architecture]] and ''[[The New York Times]]'' lauded Hereford for its bold new lines, while some independent press and wealthy donors praised the traditional design of the Darden school.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/arts/architecture-view-jefferson-s-legacy-dialogues-with-the-past.html?sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2 Jefferson's Legacy: Dialogues with the Past] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303232736/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/arts/architecture-view-jefferson-s-legacy-dialogues-with-the-past.html?sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2 |date=March 3, 2016 }}, accessed September 5, 2014</ref><ref name="JeffQuest">[http://www.c-ville.com/Jeffersonian_quest Jeffersonian Quest] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722195916/http://www.c-ville.com/Jeffersonian_quest/ |date=July 22, 2015 }}, accessed September 5, 2014</ref> The latter group appeared to have the upper hand when the [[The Lawn#The South Lawn Project|South Lawn Project]] was designed in the early 2000s.<ref name="JeffQuest" /><ref>[http://www.readthehook.com/86465/cover-going-south-wheres-lawn Going South: But where's the Lawn?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911001813/http://www.readthehook.com/86465/cover-going-south-wheres-lawn |date=September 11, 2014 }}, accessed September 9, 2014</ref> Billionaire [[John Kluge]] donated {{convert|7379|acre|km2}} of additional lands to the university in 2001.

Five farms totaling {{convert|1261|acres|0|abbr=on}} of the gift were soon sold to musician [[Dave Matthews]], of the [[Dave Matthews Band]], to be used in an [[organic farming]] project to complement his nearby [[Blenheim Vineyards]].<ref>[http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/releases2002/kluge-feb-25-2002.html UVa Foundation sells five Kluge farms] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140910195453/http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/releases2002/kluge-feb-25-2002.html|date=September 10, 2014}}, accessed September 5, 2014</ref> Morven has since hosted the Morven Summer Institute, a rigorous immersion program of study in civil society, sustainability, and creativity.<ref name="MorvenCD">[http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2014/02/university-to-repair-morven-farm University to further develop Morven Farms] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911011001/http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2014/02/university-to-repair-morven-farm |date=September 11, 2014 }}, accessed September 5, 2014</ref> {{as of|2014}}, the university is developing further plans for Morven and has hired an architecture firm for the nearly three thousand acre property.<ref name="MorvenCD" /> In addition, the UVA Foundation owns the building and grounds of the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection.
