The University of Virginia has countless buildings that honor its faculty from the school’s first two centuries, and something new is being added to the mix. A new dormitory on Alderman Road will recognize a husband and wife who worked as slaves for some of UVA’s earliest professors.

Gibbons House will be the home of 200 new Wahoos, and is being named for William and Isabella Gibbons. Outgoing Rector George Keith Martin, who’s the first African-American to chair UVA’s Board of Visitors, say Gibbons House is a way to acknowledge the role of slavery in the school’s early history.

One of the newer existing residential structures off Alderman Road is the Lile-Maupin House (pictured) which replaced the older and smaller Lile and Maupin dorms. Some UVA students had the characters Luigi and Mario as greeters to the L and M House.
