UVA North Fork Master Plan

Led by Mitchell/Matthews, the design team, which included the Maryland office of DPZ, led by Micheal Watkins, produced the master plan for University of Virginia’s 562-acre research park at North Fork.   The site was successfully zoned as a Planned Development Industrial Park (PDIP) to allow for a wide variety of uses - from light industrial to Class A office and laboratory buildings to support retail and hotel development.  Overall, the master plan provides for as much as 3.7 million square feet of development to be shared by the university and research communities.  

Mitchell/Matthews continued with the design of the North Fork’s first commercial building (80K GSF) at 4105 Lewis & Clark Drive (originally occupied by PRA Health Sciences), along with the Dabney Pavilion across from the pedestrian-oriented town center.
