The Emmet / Ivy Corridor is at 14.5 acre section of land in Charlottesville that is becoming part of the University of Virginia. The future is informed by the work of the Emmet/Ivy Task Force. The property spans along Ivy Road from Emmett Street to Copeley Road. The intent is to become a bike-pedestrian friendly area developed under "Open Grounds" principles. [1]

Future tenants include the School of Data Science, UVA's Democracy Initiative, the UVA Hotel and Conference Center, and other facilities. [2] [3] [4]
