He designed both the plantation home (1769–1809) and his ideal Academical Village (1817–28) situated eight km away in Charlottesville, in central Virginia. Both the University buildings and Monticello were directly inspired by principles derived from his deep knowledge of classical architecture and philosophy. Jefferson’s Academical Village precinct, administered as part of the University of Virginia, is owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The “University of Virginia Historic Preservation Framework Plan” (2007) provides also guidance for post-Jefferson structures in the precinct. There is nevertheless a strong cooperative and collaborative relationship between Monticello and the University of Virginia.
