Clark Hall is a building on the campus of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was completed in 1932 to hold the university's School of Law. Its two-story, sky-lit, mural-decorated Memorial Library room "is one of the Commonwealth's most significant 20th-century architectural interiors". The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 5, 2008.[2][1]
It is the 10th property listed as a featured property of the week in a program of the National Park Service that began in July 2008.[1][4] Today the building houses the University's Department of Environmental Sciences and the Charles L. Brown Science and Engineering Library.
