  • Chapter 9 - Institutions
    Chapter 9 - Institutions INSTITUTIONS Since its establishment in 1699, Williamsburg has been defined by its major public institutions. William & Mary and Bruton Parish Church preceded the city and were its first institutional partners. Virginia’s colonial government was based here from Williamsburg’s founding in 1699 until the capital was moved to Richmond in 1780. The Publick Hospital, which became Eastern State Hospital, was a significant presence in the city from 1773 until completing its move to James City County in 1970. Finally, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation traces its origin to 1926, when John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began the Colonial Capital restoration. William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg comprise 43% of the city’s total land area. This chapter will discuss the impact of these two institutions on the city. 2021 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 - Institutions Page 9-1 Chapter 9 - Institutions WILLIAM & MARY William & Mary, one of the nation’s premier state-assisted liberal arts universities, has played an integral role in the city from the start. The university was chartered in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II and is the second oldest higher educational institution in the country. William & Mary’s total enrollment in the fall of 2018 was 8,817 students, 6,377 undergraduate, 1,830 undergraduate, and 610 first-professional students. The university provides high-quality undergraduate, graduate, and professional education comprised of the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Law, and Marine Science. The university had 713 full-time faculty members and 182 part-time faculty members in 2018/19. The university’s centerpiece is the Wren Building, attributed apocryphally to the English architect Sir Christopher Wren.
