  • 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.

Protect and enhance Williamsburg’s unique character as Each component is important separately, but collectively influenced by its iconic institutions – William and Mary and they define our community. the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation – and as reinforced by the natural and manmade environment of its entrance corridors, open spaces, residential neighborhoods and people places. Protecting this character is by necessity a joint effort of the entire community. The City needs to work closely with its major institutions – William and Mary and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Cooperation and coordination with James City County and York County is also important, since the character and visual quality of the major entrance corridors into the City transcend jurisdictional boundaries. Important open space needs to be preserved, maintained and made accessible through efforts such as enforcement of the standards of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, public acquisition, delineation of greenbelt corridors, private dedication of easements, and passive recreational use.
