Fridays @ Morven

This Fall, Morven will be open on select Fridays from 1PM - 6PM for UVA students, faculty, and staff to enjoy access to our scenic gardens, winding trails, and tranquil indoor work and study spaces. Whether you're seeking a quiet corner to focus on coursework, a peaceful walk through the gardens, or simply a moment to recharge in nature, these open days offer a perfect retreat. Stroll along forested paths, admire the seasonal blooms, or bring a blanket and relax on the expansive lawns. Our indoor spaces provide comfortable seating, Wi-Fi access, and plenty of natural light—ideal for reading, writing, or collaborating with peers. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to connect with nature, reflect, and find inspiration in Morven’s serene landscape—all while staying productive or simply unwinding.
