Rotunda Discovered to be Replica
Patrick Henry - September 10, 2022 - cville
An Archaeologist visiting UVA has dropped a bombshell on the University: the Rotunda that we all know and love is actually a replica. A group of A-School alumni have anonymously come forward revealing it all started with an “April Fools Prank gone too far.”
“We never thought we would actually get away with it.” Said one, recounting the events from almost 10 years ago. “We were walking home from Trin on a Saturday and said to ourselves ‘you know what would be really funny? If we piece by piece replaced every single part of the rotunda.’ It took us 4 years, but eventually we accomplished our goal.”
With this discovery many have begun checking other University buildings, and finding they are replicas as well. The list currently includes Newcomb Hall, New Cabell Hall, Lefevre, and Shannon, and has been growing by the day.
