VCU Health-Adult Outpatient Pavilion Virtual Tour by HDR

The new Adult Outpatient Pavilion’s (AOP) project vision consolidates outpatient adult specialty services on the academic medical center campus into one multidisciplinary facility for leading clinical care. The AOP will consolidate the Massey Cancer Center, Multi-disciplinary Shared Clinics, and the VCU School of Dentistry Clinics into a multi-faceted facility, designed to achieve LEED Silver. The 615,000 SF Tower is integrated with a parking structure for 1,000+ vehicles. The 17-story predominately glass tower will be highly visible in the downtown skyline. The flexible and adaptable design maximizes views and natural daylight on all floors while also promoting a multidisciplinary, and welcoming environment for family-centered care and collaboration.

Autism Speaks Walk

The Autism Speaks Walk is the world’s largest autism fundraising event dedicated to improving the lives of people with autism. Powered by the love of people with autism and the parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, relatives and providers who support them, the funds raised help ensure people of all abilities have access to the tools needed to lead ‘their best lives.’ WIA is hosting a team for the Washington, D.C. Walk, and our members will be walking socially distanced in our neighborhoods all around the DMV.
