VCU Developments

Style readers who think it should have been shorter are nuts.  They are actually concerned that all of these people living on that block will make the area feel over crowded lol.  Geez Richmond.  Grow up already (literally and emotionally).

Interesting...VCU announced that after 46 years, they will not be having graduation ceremonies at Richmond Coliseum in May 2019.  Is this a sign that the Coliseum will be rubble??

One can only hope!!  I think this is very telling. There will be nothing booked at the Coliseum all next year. It’s either the Coliseum gets bull-dozed or it sits empty for at least a year and the city eats the cost for doing so. I doubt that is the option they want, so I say they’re going to go for replacing it!!

I’m trying to figure out where this will be built. I see old city hall in the rendering. So will it be next to old city hall and across the street from the current outpatient hospital?

On Marshall between 10th and 11th. It’s essentially a major expansion of the existing outpatient facility.

Yes, they had to build the new Virginia Treatment Center for Children at the Brook Rd campus on Northside and relocate it. Always the plan.

Did you notice the 2 level bridge that connects to several buildings,  where is that going?

It connects to Sanger Hall, a non-clinical research and lecture building, then it spans Marshall to the western-most side of the main hospital building.

This will allow pediatric patients to be transported from our pediatric ED (next to adult ED) to the pediatric hospital if they are admitted, so it will certainly be utilized.

So just to clear up for myself, that tower in the rendering is going to replace this?

Wow!  You’re really good at this. Thanks for posting!

[wrldcoupe4]

Looks like all told it will be equivalent to about 17 stories. And close in height to City Hall. Nice density especially with the new General Assembly Building! 

[drayrichmond]

With this addition, the other new tower they're building right now, and the new state GAB this part of town is going to start looking very sleek and dense!

[wrldcoupe4]

Yep imagine if we move forward with the Navy Hill project.

So the word on the street is that this is taking priority over the outpatient tower. The team (architectural and engineering) that was on that project has moved to this one. Meaning the outpatient tower is now a few years a way from happening. However I like the render. My company designed the childrens pavilion portion and a few people in my office didn't realize that the future addition was going to be an inpatient hospital. They said they may run into a few issues expanding the existing facilities to serve a hospital because they weren't designed for inpatient areas haha, guess we will see.

[wrldcoupe4]

When you say outpatient, do you mean the new tower that was supposed to go near/where the parking decks are located? That was inpatient right?  I always thought ambulatory  = outpatient and that is well on its way.

[Shakman]

Inpatient, outpatient, up-patient, down-patient, upside-down-patient...  build them all.    

[Willy18]

Shakman, sounds like they need to build a tower just for you...the "Impatient Tower".

Yep, sorry. Got my patients mixed up.

Why though. What kind of scatterbrain thinking process.. I thought the ambulatory/outpatient tower was already deep into the construction process

[wrldcoupe4]

If you read the post above yours, confirms that it was supposed to say inpatient not outpatient. Ambulatory care tower continues in full swing. 

[RVA-Is-The-Best]

Well then what's the inpatient tower? I never saw renderings or announcements about that

[eandslee]

A second tower crane is about to go up at the Adult Out-Patient tower!  Check out the webcam here and you’ll see the second base going in to the left:

Does anyone know how tall the final height will be for the children’s hospital when they add the inpatient part to it? I was thinking it would be around same height as city hall but not 100 percent sure.

The Allied Health building goes green on the development map. Debuted Monday.

We now look with greater excitement across the street for the larger (and taller) adult outpatient building, which is already well under construction, and the childrens inpatient hospital on Marshall, which according to BizSense, should be turning purple very soon.
