April 19, 2010 – The Jefferson Scholars Foundation officially unveiled the new Jefferson Fellows Center Friday morning. In addition to serving as the foundation’s new headquarters, the building complex on Maury Avenue provides teaching, research and study space, all in an environment with several sustainable design features.
The complex includes a central courtyard and a set of buildings, Foundation President James Wright said. Specifically, the buildings contain the foundation’s administrative offices, a reading room and rooms for conferences and seminars.
The center is aimed primarily at accommodating the work of Jefferson Fellows, the recipients of the foundation’s award for graduate students, Wright said. Nevertheless, the space is multipurpose and open to the University community.
