On January 12th, UVA students visited the construction site of Amazon’s future East Coast headquarters in Arlington, VA. Nell Connors, a UVA graduate, led the tour.

Nell is a senior project manager at Clark Construction and she is currently managing the construction of this project. Once it opens in 2023, Metropolitan Park will include two 22-story office buildings, 50,000 square feet of retail space for local small businesses, and more than 2 acres of public open space for the entire community to enjoy.
