1 Various Definitions of Historic UVA s Historic Structures Evaluation Methodology One goal of the Historic Preservation Master Plan was to develop a ranking of historic structures and landscapes which lists them with respect to their importance to the University s historic development and character. To establish the list, an approach was developed which allowed all of the resources to be judged in a consistent manner. This required understanding how the building or landscape fit within the history of the University, and included an interior and exterior survey of each building or landscape and an evaluation of the building s or site s integrity. 2
Definition of Historic Property from Secretary of the Interior Standards Historic Property a district, site, building, structure or object significant in American history, architecture, engineering, archeology or culture at the national, State, or local level. Definitions Fundamental Essential Important Contributing Not contributing Ranking Based on the information gathered, each building and landscape was assessed and assigned a preservation priority a ranking identifying the resources level of importance in terms of the University s historic character. The priorities are divided into six groups: Fundamental to University history and present character, which applies exclusively to the Jefferson building and Grounds. Essential to University history and present character. Important to University history and present character. Contributing to University history and present character. Not Contributing to University history and present character. Significant outside the University context. 3
