The Claude Moore Nursing Education Building provides additional classroom and faculty office space needed to accommodate the increase in nursing enrollment at the University. This building occupied a site to the west of 15th Street across from the current University of Virginia School of Nursing’s McLeod Hall. The parcel is approximately 15,000 square feet and drops 17 feet along 15th Street. A small house occupied the north side of the site and was demolished in its entirety as part of this project. To the west are private apartments and to the north of the building is an alley with the Barringer Mansion beyond. Construction started in October 2006.

The 31,300 gsf, 4-story brick building occupies the majority of the site. Modestly landscaped areas have been incorporated along the northern, southern, and western boundaries of the site. The frontage of the site along 15th Street includes a new sidewalk and brick planters used for transitioning the grade along the building. No new parking areas were included in the scope, only minor re-stripping of the existing parking in the alley to provide ADA accessible parking spaces for the building.

The main entrance to the building is located at the high point of the site on the 15th Street with a second entry located at the south end of the building opposite the main entry to McLeod Hall. The lower two floors of the building include standard lecture halls, classroom, and academic offices. The upper two floors include faculty offices, conference rooms and the Dean’s Suite. The total project budget was $15,550,000. The Claude Moore Nursing Education Building was substantially completed in July 2008.
