Community-Based Learning
Community-based learning can include a variety of modes, including volunteering, collaborative projects, clinical education, and study trips. Many community-based learning courses at the University of Richmond center around larger initiatives, including the Eco-Corridor on campus and the restoration of African American cemeteries across Richmond.
New Knowledge for the Public Good
Community-engaged research engages faculty and community stakeholders in meaningful research together and is published both in disciplinary journals and in journals dedicated to community engagement.
Resources for Community-Based Learning Students
Community-based learning succeeds when students further their own learning through experience and reflection and give valuable information or service to the community partner.
Tyler Haynes Commons Patio Repairs
Beginning Monday, July 13, repairs to the second-floor patios at Tyler Haynes Commons will temporarily impact pedestrian access between the Heilman Dining Center and Boatwright Memorial Library sides of campus. The patio on the dining center side of THC will be closed July 13–19, and the patio on the library side will be closed July 20–26.
Throughout the project, the stairs between the upper and lower forums will remain open, and elevator access within THC will remain available. The accessible walking path in front of the library will continue to allow access between levels 1 and 2 of THC. Specific details include:
HEILMAN DINING CENTER SIDE PATIO CLOSURE — JULY 13–19
The second-floor patio on the dining center side of THC will be closed July 13–19. All entry into and exit from THC must be done via the library side of the building.
Shuttle Service
To best support our campus community, a wheelchair-accessible shuttle will operate on a continuous loop (every 15 minutes) between lot W76 (Gottwald Science Center/Heilman Dining Center) and the Transportation Hub on level 1 of the library side of THC. The shuttle is available to all members of the campus community and will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday–Friday, July 13–17.
From the Transportation Hub, riders can use the stairs, THC elevator, or accessible walking path in front of the library to return to level 2 and continue across campus.
If weather delays require additional work on the patio, the shuttle will continue to run for the duration of the work.
BOATWRIGHT LIBRARY SIDE PATIO CLOSURE — JULY 20–26
The second-floor patio on the library side of THC will be closed July 20–26. All entry into and exit from THC on the library side must be done via the level 1 entrance. Pedestrians should use the stairs or accessible walking path in front of the library to reach the level 1 entrance to THC.
There will be no shuttle service during this phase.
We appreciate your patience as these repairs are completed. Updates will be provided if weather impacts the project or requires adjustments to the closure schedule. Please allow a few extra minutes for travel during the project and follow posted signage for the safest route.
