NEW! The Nook adjacent to UVa Grounds

The Nook is 2 mins on foot from the Jefferson Scholars Foundation and Runk Hall and 5 mins on foot from the Stadium (perfect for game day and other UVA events or visits), yet it is located on a quiet street that gets very little traffic on a normal day. Within 2 mins walk, you will find a quaint little coffee shop, a gas station, a convenience store, laundry and dry cleaning facilities, and dining options. The space has been recently renovated to bring you a homey and cozy space to settle into!
