Hereford College is a self-governed residential college at the University of Virginia that houses 500 students, mostly in single-occupancy rooms. Its stated core values are environmental sustainability, cultural diversity, and community outreach. Named after physicist Frank Hereford, who was President of the University between 1974 and 1985, the college opened in 1992 as New College, U-Va.'s second residential college. It consists of five strikingly thin dorm buildings, a principal's building, and its own residential cafeteria. Hereford was designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, which also designed the American Folk Art Museum in New York, the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, and the Student Art Building of Johns Hopkins University. |
