Putting the spotlight on campus- and citywide collaboration.
The Center for Arts and Innovations will consolidate VCU’s art programs into one location and more firmly establish the strength of these programs. The $253 million building will be constructed across the street from VCU’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. It will include flexible classroom spaces, performance venues, and interdisciplinary makerspaces for the fast-growing relationships across arts, business, medicine, and engineering. The Center will also be a space for digital and economic initiatives for both the campus and city while allowing students to collaborate with businesses and organizations on a variety of projects.
“It’s a game changer. It brings our nationally prominent art and innovation programs to the busiest intersection in Richmond and connects us to the city.”
Meredith Weiss, university vice president
