"...We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." -- Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, 1776

For the first time since the 1950s, renovations are planned for the University of Virginia Chapel.  The 137-year-old Gothic structure will be undergoing work to clean, restore and refinish historic surfaces throughout its interior, including wainscotting, chair rails and baseboards, doors, elements of the wood ceiling, brick arches, and its columns.

The work, to be performed by UVA Construction & Renovation Services with assistance from an architectural conservation firm to be selected this fall, also will replace lighting, update the smoke detection system, repair damaged plaster and paint the walls.  The project is budgeted at $2.6 million, with funds coming from UVA’s deferred maintenance fund, Student Affairs and from private donors.
