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.”
A Home for Every Hoo resonates with me because it creates a real sense of belonging. We want alumni to not only feel welcome in this new building, but to feel a part of it. So, no matter where they are, every Hoo will feel a sense of belonging to our special community.
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.
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.
I look forward to the next rendition of Alumni Hall being synonymous with welcome and outreach. Connecting people of various backgrounds leads to a special sense of community.
While virtually everyone who attends UVA has some ‘affinity groups’ they belong to, the Alumni Association is the one ‘club’ that provides a common bond among all graduates. Having a first-class space to gather with fellow Hoos makes coming back to Charlottesville even more special.
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.
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.
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.
