Designing Grounds: Student Internships in the Office of the Architect with Rachel Lloyd, Ruth Player, and Laura Whitaker

Episode Not

Have you ever wondered why UVA is so beautiful, beyond being designed by Thomas Jefferson, who believed architecture itself could serve as a teaching tool?

This episode takes listeners behind the scenes of the University of Virginia’s Office of the Architect, where a lead landscape architect and two interns share their experiences shaping and caring for UVA’s celebrated grounds. Together, they discuss the balance between preserving the university’s historic landscapes and envisioning new projects, including the transformative Emmet-Ivy Corridor and efforts to make the Gardens behind the Lawn more accessible. Their stories highlight not only the craft of landscape architecture but also the vital role that beautiful, intentional spaces play in academic life, spaces that invite gathering, reflection, and a deeper connection to place.
