Children’s Hospital of Richmond Pavilion at Virginia Commonwealth UniversityAn Urban Oasis for Children and Their Families

To create a healing environment for children and their families while connecting caregivers, researchers, students and faculty in a coordinated care and learning environment that is less stressful for patients.

Located at the gateway to the Medical College of Virginia campus, the 10-story ambulatory pavilion consolidates existing pediatric clinics into a new building in an urban setting. The vertical pavilion includes a surgery level, three levels of pediatric clinics and a floor dedicated to faculty offices, research and medical student education.

The Children’s Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University is now the largest and most advanced outpatient health facility dedicated to children in its region. With an emphasis on physical, visual and abstract connections to nature, the Pavilion has a calming, restorative effect on all who experience the building, reducing anxiety and stress, and in turn, promoting health and healing.
