Campbell Hall is the home of the University of Virginia School of Architecture in Charlottesville. It was completed in 1970 and is named for Edmund S. Campbell, who directed the McIntire Department of Art from 1927 to 1950. Sasaki Associates designed it, with Pietro Belluschi as design consultant.

The state historic resources department describes an L-shaped, largely rectilinear building of concrete, glass and the university's red brick. It calls the design Modern Movement principles tempered by a regional interpretation.

Additions came in 2008. Professor Bill Sherman designed a south addition with porches that cool the building in summer. Professor W. G. Clark designed an east addition with review spaces and pivoting exhibition panels. Warren T. Byrd Jr. designed the landscape. The Virginia Landmarks Register listed the hall in 2019, and the National Register followed in 2025.
