Aggarwal Hall Our Future, Your Home
Opening in Spring 2027, the Alumni Association’s new home will be a warm and inviting space designed to serve and represent all Hoos for generations to come.
The state-of-the-art 50,000-square-foot building sits at 211 Emmet Street South, the Alumni Association’s home for over a century.
Aggarwal Hall is named in recognition of a transformational gift from the family of Reggie Aggarwal (Com ’91) that propelled the project forward.
“To me, the Alumni Association and this project embody the enduring value of the UVA experience—connection, community, and impact well beyond Grounds”
I truly believe the UVA Alumni Association offers an outstanding range of programs and support for alumni around the world. It’s exciting to see the Alumni Association creating a remarkable space for Hoos to reconnect when they return to Grounds.
A Home for every Hoo represents more than just a physical building. It represents a lifelong, inclusive community for all alumni, regardless of where they are from or when they graduated; a community that will always welcome us back to Grounds.
No matter where you’re from, what you studied, or when you graduated, there’s a place for you here. That sense of belonging, of immediate connection, is what makes the UVA alumni community so special.
The new space has something for everyone’s needs. It will be a great place to for alumni who need a space to go between activities and meetings in Charlottesville. The new building will also be a place for prospective Hoos, whether children of alumni or new families, to get an introduction to UVA.
We get so excited thinking about how a new Alumni Association building can serve the needs of so many alumni, student organizations, and community members…To think of the thousands of ways a new, state-of-the-art space can and will be used in the future is absolutely fantastic.
For nearly 100 years, Alumni Hall has served the needs of alumni and the broader UVA community extremely well—but it is time for a refresh. The new building will blend the best of UVA’s traditional sense of place with the light and space that will serve as a compelling gathering point for alumni, students, faculty, administration and the community at large.
It’s not just about the bricks and mortar—it’s about creating an atmosphere that cheers our hearts and warms our blood.
To me, A Home for Every Hoo represents a space where all members of the UVA family—across generations, backgrounds, and experiences—feel seen, valued, and connected. It’s about honoring the University’s rich traditions while embracing the diversity and excellence of our alumni, friends, and families. The new design tells that story—one of unity, inclusion, and forward momentum.
