University of Virginia Alumni Association

Alumni Hall has served as the University of Virginia Alumni Association's home since 1936, hosting nearly 90 years of student traditions, graduate celebrations, weddings, dinners, conferences, galas, and meetings on the same grounds as the University. The historic building sits close to UVA's Grounds with on-site parking, giving it a relaxed, friendly setting for events. The Alumni Association is now transforming the site into Aggarwal Hall, a 50,000-square-foot building named for a gift from Reggie and Dharini Aggarwal, the largest gift in the Association's 190-year history. Construction began in September 2025, with a grand opening planned for spring 2027. The new building's exterior draws on the design of Pavilion IX and centers on a dramatic atrium, while flexible spaces including a Grand Ballroom, Library, Parlor, Meeting Room, and Cafe are designed to accommodate gatherings of 50 to 500 guests. Outdoor areas, among them the Main Event Terrace, Sprigg Lane Terrace, Emmet Street Terrace, and several gardens and colonnades, extend the building's event space beyond its walls.
